There's plenty happening at the moment, as we enter the last couple of months of a challenging 2020. In this latest HRCLS update you'll find: - Report to the Community 2020 - still time to register!
- Victorian Energy & Water Ombudsman - online information session for NE Victoria
- Responsible lending laws - our advocacy, your input
While the situation improves in Victoria, our offices remain closed to the public, in line with the latest Government advice. Our service continues and you can reach us on 1800 918 377 or contact us through the website. Due to the current circumstances and increasing demand, our service may be limited, so if we are unable to assist, we will refer you to other appropriate services.
We are still encouraging referrals to help people in need, and our usual legal service intake criteria applies. Our lawyers can also provide secondary consults to service providers to give general advice on what may be the best course of action for your client. Free legal advice is also available through Victoria Legal Aid on 1300 792 387 or online chat at www.legalaid.vic.gov.au, or LawAccess NSW on 1300 888 529. The Albury Legal Aid Office can also be contacted on 02 6020 7200 for telephone advice. Visit our COVID page to find useful information and answers to COVID-related legal questions. Let's hope the next time we contact you, our border is open and we are another step closer to putting the current situation behind us! |
