Victoria Legal Aid
1.Free telephone and online legal information and advice
2. See a lawyer
3. Get a lawyer to run your case through a ‘grant of legal assistance’.
4. We have lawyers on ‘duty’ at many courts and tribunals across Victoria. These ‘duty lawyers’ help people who are at court for a hearing, but do not have their own lawyer. The Duty Lawyer Service is free. However duty lawyers do not represent everyone. Therefore it is always best to speak to us before going to court.
Legal Help Chat is our online live chat service for general legal information. A chat window will appear at the bottom of our website if staff are available.
