Law Access does not provide legal advice or representation. Law Access will not act as your lawyer.
You remain responsible for meeting any limitation dates or important dates in your matter and attending any hearings.
If you are eligible, Law Access will try to find a lawyer willing to help without charging their usual fees.
If we find a lawyer or law firm willing to help, you are responsible for negotiating the terms of your engagement with them.
Do not rely on Law Access to provide legal advice or representation. No cause of action in negligence for providing or failing to provide legal advice arises from Law Access processing or assessing your application.
Law Access needs to know information about your circumstances and legal issue to assess whether you are eligible for assistance.
You must provide true and complete information.
If we find your information is false or you have left anything out, you will not get help from Law Access or pro bono lawyers.
Information and Documents You will be asked to upload documents as part of your application. You should scan or save the documents we are likely to need before you start.
The documents we need will depend on your circumstances but usually include:
Please apply in the name of the person with the legal issue and put your name as a nominated contact.
If the person wants help they will need to apply directly and answer the questions in their words. You can assist and support them if they want your help. There is a hardcopy form if that will be easier for them.
Please fill out what you can on this form. Once you submit the form we will call you to discuss any gaps.
The next questions ask about you and your partner. If you do not have a partner, just complete the answers for yourself.
