Community Legal Centres (CLCs) are independent community organisations that provide a range of equitable and accessible legal and related services to their client community, such as information and referral; advice on legal matters; legal casework and representation; community legal education; and advocacy. The vast majority of their services are offered free of charge, and some Centres provide legal advice over the phone and hold interview and advice sessions after business hours. For information on services offered by individual Centres please contact the Centre in your area directly (all links will open in a new window):
