Wide Bay Burnett
Community Legal Service
We are an independent, non-profit community organisation which aims to address disadvantage across the Fraser Coast, Gympie, Bundaberg and North Burnett regions through the provision of free, quality legal advice.
Legal assistance is intended to help vulnerable people facing disadvantage who are unable to afford private legal services to engage effectively with the justice system in order to address their legal problems.
Legal Advice & Support
Our service delivery includes free legal advice, referral and education. We are committed to equitable access to the legal system and justice, and the equal protection of human rights. Although our service is not means-tested, our priority is to assist people experiencing hardship or vulnerable to disadvantage.
Almost half of all Queenslanders will experience a legal problem in a calendar year. Vulnerable people in our community often have more legal issues than other community members but are less likely to have access to the resources to deal with them.
