Our assessment process
We will assess your application based on the information you provide. If you do not provide enough information we will reject your application.
Please update us with important matters regarding your legal case (such as new orders being made, or a hearing date being set) by email. We ask that you do not contact us frequently, as we are a small office, and it slows down our ability to assess your matter, and other people's. For that reason, we cannot see you in person.
For Family Law and Protection and Care applicants
Applicants with protection and care matters should proceed to the application form.
For all other family law applicants, please read our information sheet before submitting an application.
Our referral process
If your matter is eligible for referral, we will try to find a lawyer who can help you. We are dependent on a member of the legal profession being available and willing to assist, so there is no guarantee that we will be able to find you a lawyer.
Law Access does not, by referring a client or a matter to a particular legal practitioner, law firm or community legal centre, warrant the services of that practitioner, firm or centre.
It is important that you continue to meet all court commitments or commence any necessary legal action within statutory time limits, even if you have submitted an application to Law Access.
