National Self-Representation Service

Under the Community Legal Services Program 2025–2030, we fund a national self-representation service to assist unrepresented people in the Federal Court and the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia. 

Assistance is provided in priority areas such as:

  • social security
  • discrimination
  • consumer law
  • judicial review
  • bankruptcy
  • employment law.

The service provides eligible applicants with:

  • legal advice
  • assistance to prepare court documents and correspondence
  • help to understand the legal system, court rules and alternative options for resolving disputes.

The following organisations provide this service:
