Professionals In Social Justice.

We offer free legal and social support services to people in need.

Want to Learn About Our Programs?

We offer a range of FREE legal services to multicultural people living in Western Sydney, including migrants, refugees, asylum seekers and people who are culturally and linguistically diverse.

To assess whether you are eligible for our service, we will take into account factors such as the type and urgency of your legal enquiry, whether you live in Western Sydney, your income and personal circumstances, and your legal capability.

We prioritise our services for people with barriers to accessing justice and accept referrals from legal services, community services and other non-legal programs.

We can help with FREE legal information, referrals or advice and in some cases, representation and can offer a free interpreter if needed.  We can also deliver free legal education and presentations to the community.

We also run outreaches in the community. We have outreaches in Auburn, Berala, Granville, Guildford, Ryde, and more.

The easiest and quickest way for you to contact us is by using our online form to tell us about your legal enquiry:
