This service provides legal and advocacy services to the Great Southern community. Our services are directed to those who would not otherwise be able to access legal and advocacy services, either because they are ineligible for legal aid or because they cannot afford the services of a private lawyer.
This service offers support in the following areas:
- Cars and driving
- Child protection
- Criminal injuries compensation
- Family law
- Family Violence (including Conduct Agreement orders, Family Violence Restraining orders, Safety planning, Elder abuse)
- Managing your affairs
- Money matters

An initial appointment may be with a solicitor or paralegal, depending on the service area.
Any ongoing assistance after an initial appointment is at the ultimate discretion of the Principal Solicitor and will be determined in consideration of the Centre’s capacity, funding and areas of expertise. There is no guarantee of ongoing support.
In the event this Centre is not best placed to assist you, best efforts will be made to refer you onto an appropriate service who could help.
