Legal Aid lawyers are available to help at community outreaches throughout the ACT.
If you cannot visit the Legal Aid office, you can have a free chat with a Legal Aid lawyer at an outreach location. Most outreach locations do not require an appointment - just drop in!
Our outreach locations enable Legal Aid ACT to provide a friendly and accessible face to the community while engaging with hard-to-reach and vulnerable community groups such as newly arrived migrants, young people, people at risk of incarceration and older people.
