We believe access to justice should be a right for all Western Australians.

Community legal centres are important as they help people who cannot afford to access the justice system. 

Centres provide free or low-cost legal help in our community in areas such as:

• family and domestic violence,
• parenting arrangements and child protection,
• employment law, wage theft and job security,
• housing insecurity arising from tenancy problems and homelessness,
• financial problems like fines and debts, welfare payments and consumer complaints; and
• mental health issues.

We believe people with a legal problem should be able to get the legal help they need; at the time they need it most. 

Community legal centres seek to provide early legal assistance to prevent legal problems escalating.
