Victoria Legal Aid

Victoria Legal Aid helps people with their legal problems. We provide free legal information and education to all Victorians, with a focus on prevention and early resolution of legal problems. We prioritise more intensive legal services such as legal advice and representation for people who meet eligibility criteria, based on their financial situation, the nature and seriousness of their problem and their individual circumstances. Some of our services are available to everyone, while other, more intensive, services are offered to people who need it the most. Anyone can get free information by: • going to the Find legal answers section on this website – each topic has information about the law and who you can contact for more help • ordering our free publications and resources • visiting our public law library to access legislation, case law and other legal materials. You can also get legal help over the phone. If we can’t help you, we may be able to refer you to other services who can. Legal problems we don’t give advice about There are some things we don’t give legal advice about. They include: • business and commercial matters • building, buying and selling houses and land • defamation • intellectual property • pay disputes • work injuries • Wills and deceased estates.
