WHO PROVIDES LEGAL AID SERVICES?

The agencies that provide legal aid services can be grouped as follows:

  • VLA;
  • community legal centres (CLCs);
  • some private law firms; and
  • the Victorian Aboriginal Legal Service (VALS).

The Commonwealth Government sets the priorities and guidelines for grants of legal assistance for Commonwealth law matters. VLA's Board sets the guidelines for funding matters under state law.

A list of VLA offices can be found in Chapter 2*4 Advice Directory.
