Our Service
The Women’s Legal Service is a specialist community legal centre run for women by women which has been in operation for 27 years. WLS provides free legal information, advice and referrals to ensure all women have assistance when dealing with legal matters and their legal rights. Women’s Legal Service assists approximately 4,500 women in Queensland per year, many of whom are experiencing family law disputes and/or domestic violence. Women’s Legal Service relies on the contribution of over 100 volunteers and a small staff team. The service has a holistic focus and regularly undertakes law reform and community legal education.
