At the Burdekin Neighbourhood Centre, we value collaboration with everyone in our community. For over 30 years, we have partnered with local solicitors to provide a Free Community Legal Advice service. We are deeply grateful to these firms for sharing their expertise on various legal matters with our community.
We are excited to announce our latest collaboration with Townsville-based Free Community Legal Services to host a Community Legal Service Expo in the Burdekin community.
Community Legal Centres (CLCs) are independent organisations that provide equitable and accessible legal services. These "communities" can refer to geographic areas served by generalist CLCs or specific groups or interests served by specialised CLCs focusing on particular issues (for example, DV or a specific area of law). CLCs offer appropriate, effective, and creative solutions based on their understanding of the community's needs.
In addition to providing legal services to individuals, CLCs also engage in broader initiatives. They promote community development, legal education, and law reform projects aimed at preventing legal issues and strengthening the community.
We invite residents to join us for a cup of tea and a conversation with lawyers about the free legal services available to the Burdekin community.
The Expo is an excellent opportunity for community members to explore various legal options and connect with these services. Please note that the advice provided at the Expo will be general in nature, as specific processes are necessary before offering advice on individual matters. There will also be opportunities to schedule follow-up appointments with firms if needed.
