What we do
Legal Aid Commission (ACT) (Legal Aid) helps people who:
- live in the ACT or have a case in an ACT Court or Tribunal; and
- need legal help but can’t afford a private lawyer.
Our mission is to promote a just society in the ACT by:
- making sure people who are vulnerable or disadvantaged can get legal help to stand up for their rights;
- helping the community better understand the law; and
- working to change laws that unfairly impact the people we support.
We work towards this mission by providing high-quality legal services that respect diversity and help build trust in the legal system.
Our services include:
- legal advice and assistance
- dispute resolution services
- information and referral services
- duty lawyer services
- representation in courts and tribunals, where a grant of legal assistance is approved
- community legal education
- submissions on issues of law reform.
