As a not-for-profit community legal centre servicing the whole of WA, we receive a large volume of enquiries each day. We do our best to respond to you as soon as possible. This may occasionally take more than one business day.

Sometimes you may be able to resolve your issue by using the Resources section of our website. If we cannot see you in the time you need, you might like to contact Legal Aid WA or another community legal centre to see if they can assist you.

What do you need help with?

If you are a victim of sexual assault and are seeking support for this, or are wanting to claim Criminal Injuries Compensation, please contact our SALSWA project.

We run a Pro Bono Property Legal Clinic that can provide advice on family law financial matters, including property settlement and spousal maintenance.

Our Clinic provides one-off, one-hour appointments with private family lawyers who generously donate their time to volunteer at our Service. These appointments are held over the phone.

The Legal Clinic is not suitable for women who have ongoing or complex Family Court proceedings, as the advice appointments are only one hour and the lawyers will not have the time to review court documents.

We will contact you to determine if the clinic is suitable for you and will then request a detailed Background Information form before adding you to our appointment waitlist.

If your enquiry does not relate to one of the above areas of law, we cannot assist you.

Instead, please see the following links for information on other services that may be able to assist you:

Please send us an email at info@wlswa.org.au.

Please remember that our resources are limited and need to be directed to the most disadvantaged and vulnerable women.
