To enhance the general public's understanding of law and encourage solicitors to contribute to the community by serving the general public, the Queensland Chinese Lawyers Association, in partnership with Auslaw Partners, launched the FREE "Public Legal Aid Hotline" in 2021, offering legal consultations in five areas:
We established our legal aid hotline as Queensland’s first public service legal aid initiative. To further our cause of giving a voice to our international community in Australia, we understand that even the little questions can have the most invaluable answers. The hotline offers convenient access to valuable answers.
The Public Legal Aid Hotline is available from 4:30 pm to 5:30 pm (every Tuesday and Friday, except public holidays). Each month, there is an assigned lawyer that will be answering your calls and queries.
Since its humble beginnings in June 2021, our Public Legal Aid Hotline has helped over 400 groups of callers or families. Almost every session has been fully booked! While we regret to keep some of you waiting to connect on to our hotline, rest assured that our outstanding team of lawyers are working hard to answer all your questions.
Thank you for your continuous patience and support, we look forward to hearing and serving many more community members every week!
