North West Community Legal Centre

The North West Community Legal Centre Inc. is a member of the National Association of Community Legal Centres. We are a free one off advice and referral legal service to residents on the North West Coast of Tasmania.

We are here to assist in the provision of legal advice, Community Legal Education and participate in Law Reform. This service was established to provide advice to residents of the North West Coast of Tasmania. Residents in other areas of the State can be referred to Community Legal Centres in their local area. The service we provide is not means tested. We conduct Outreach to Burnie, Smithton and the West Coast of Tasmania.

One of our solicitors is available to speak to community groups and organisations, secondary schools and colleges in relation to our services, but also any particular area of law that is of interest to them.

The North West Community Legal Centre is one of seven Community Legal Centres in Tasmania and has links with other Community Legal Centres across the country.

We are a free one off advice and referral centre. We do not conduct in Court representation or ongoing case work, unless the case work is approved in exceptional circumstances.

Our centre offers both face to face and telephone advice. Appointments are preferable.
