Our new website: clearer information, same free legal help
24 June 2026
Find the right information sooner, so you can decide what to do next
Women’s Legal Service Victoria has launched a new website designed to make it easier for you to understand your options and find the right legal support sooner.
If you are dealing with separation, family violence, or legal problems, it can be hard to know where to start.
The information you will find on our website is written in plain language, with services organised around the kinds of problems you might be facing, not legal categories.
We've done this to help people find out more quickly whether our service may be relevant to their situation.
You can:
- find legal information
- explore the problems we help with
- see the ways we can help
Understand your options before you share personal information
You can find out whether Women's Legal is the right service for you before sharing detailed personal information.
Before you apply for legal help we ask a short set of questions to help you understand whether Women’s Legal is likely to be the right service for you.
Where Women’s Legal is not the right fit, the website helps you find other relevant services, so you are not left without support.
Clearer pathways for workers to connect with our service
Women's Legal accepts referrals and provides secondary consultations for people supporting clients across Victoria.
We want you to refer with confidence, and with clearer next steps.
Our website guides you through a short set of questions to help you understand whether Women’s Legal is the right service before sharing detailed information.
