We are a not-for-profit community legal centre who provide free socio-legal services to WA women. Our service improves women’s lives through specialist legal representation, support and advocacy. Our services are available to all women who have been adversely impacted by gendered violence.
We do this by providing high quality socio-legal assistance that supports the safety of women and assists with access to entitlements. Our service is trauma informed and culturally secure. Our services are available to all persons who identify as women.
With limited appointments available, we target our services to women who have the greatest need and who may experience additional barriers in accessing support and justice. That can mean women who:
- have no or very low income
- have limited access to other legal services, such as: those in remote regions and those not eligible to access other services (including Legal Aid and other local community legal centres)
- are experiencing (or at risk of) family or domestic violence, or have experienced this violence and the trauma that it creates
- live with a disability
- are experiencing homelessness
- are in prison or remand
- are from a culturally or ethnically diverse background, particularly if English is a second language
- identify as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander
- are experiencing discrimination on the basis of sexuality.
Where we cannot help, we will endeavour to make a referral to another service who might be able to.
