Salvos Legal is a free law firm for people who have been made vulnerable by addiction, family violence, family breakdowns, financial stress, homelessness, ill health or migration, visa and citizenship compliance issues.
We specifically help people who do not qualify for any government-funded legal assistance as their needs fall outside the criteria of Legal Aid or Community Legal Centres.
At Salvos Legal, our goal is to help people overcome hardship or injustice by using our legal expertise, empathy and practical knowledge to achieve the best outcomes possible.
We appreciate that many people who need our legal assistance often have other pressing non-legal needs and are managing other complicated issues in their lives. Because we are fully owned by The Salvation Army, we often connect clients with other Army pastoral and social services, such as addiction recovery, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander programs, youth support programs, accommodation and homelessness services, Employment Plus and Moneycare.
