Many of life’s challenges – from housing issues to problems at work – have legal solutions. But navigating the legal system is overwhelming and expensive. South-East Monash Legal Service provides free, accessible legal help to our southeastern community.
As a community legal centre, our ability to help is based on our availability and the nature of your problem. We focus on helping those experiencing financial hardship or who face barriers to accessing traditional legal services. If you’re unsure, give us a call. We’re here to help.
If you don’t speak English, we can arrange an interpreter.
