Who we are

LawRight improves the lives of disadvantaged people in Queensland by increasing access to justice through strategic partnerships with pro bono lawyers.

LawRight supports people representing themselves in civil court matters, people facing homelessness and other disadvantage.

LawRight partners with law firms, barristers and members of the legal profession to provide free legal help.

LawRight connects with community agencies, court registries and other partners to target our help to those who need it most.

How we help

LawRight connects Queenslanders with free civil law help through three services

We provide support to prevent and end homelessness by resolving legal issues connected to a person’s housing, money, and experiencing of violence.
