Family Advocacy and Support Services

Legal Aid WA’s Family Advocacy Support Services offers a free duty lawyer and social support worker service for anyone with a family law problem who is affected by family violence.

What is the Family Advocacy and Support Services?

The service offers a free duty lawyer and social support worker service for anyone with a family law problem who is affected by family violence.

The support provided by this service includes:

  • Duty lawyers can give you legal advice about parenting matters, applying for or defending a Family Violence Restraining Order, protection and care matters, urgent property matters, and divorce.
  • Social support workers can help you to manage risk. They can also give you counselling, referrals to other services, in-court support, and help dealing with organisations outside the court system such as police, refuges, and housing services.
