False Statements

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:

• Bank statements for the last three months for accounts in your name and the name of your partner.
• Your most recent pay slip (if you are employed).
• Your most recent Centrelink Income Statement (if you are receiving Centrelink benefits).
• Any documents relevant to your legal issue including court documents and decisions, letters or emails about your dispute, legal advice you’ve received and anything else that we would need to understand your legal issue.

The next questions ask about you and your partner. If you do not have a partner, just complete the answers for yourself.
