Need legal help but don’t know where to go? We offer free one-off advice in many areas of law — no matter your income.
If you have a legal problem or general enquiry, call our Legal Aid Helpline. We can give you help over the phone.
We have lawyers on duty at the ACT Magistrates Court, ACAT, Children’s Court and Family Court. If you do not have a lawyer, you can talk to a duty lawyer.
