Legal Aid NSW

About

Legal Aid NSW helps people in New South Wales who have a legal problem and cannot afford a lawyer.

Anyone in NSW can start by contacting LawAccess NSW, a free information service that is part of Legal Aid NSW. Staff there are not lawyers, but they give legal information, refer people to other services and book appointments with a Legal Aid NSW lawyer for those who qualify.
