Cairns Community Legal Centre may assist people who are experiencing disadvantage, have a legal problem we are able to assist with and live in the geographical area covered by the Centre.
We provide information and referrals, legal advice and in some circumstances, ongoing casework assistance.
To access our legal services simply contact the Centre for an appointment. We can be reached on phone (07) 4031 7688 or 1800 062 608.
If you are wanting to see the DVDLS solicitor at the DV Court on Thursday, come to the Cairns Magistrates Court. No appointment is necessary.
Sometimes the Centre will be unable to help. For example we may have a conflict of interest, be fully booked or otherwise unable to assist with your enquiry. If this happens the Centre will do its best to provide you with a referral to another organisation.
Please note, services not provided by Cairns Community Legal Centre include: trade marking, intellectual property, copyright, immigration; native title; personal injuries; commercial work, such as mortgaging, leasing, buying or selling businesses or houses. There are just some examples. There may also be other work the Centre does not do or circumstances where it cannot help.
