Free advice
Free & low-cost legal help in Australia
Before you pay for a lawyer, there are free and low-cost options — and our AI assistant is free to use any time to help you understand your situation.
Start free with Aurum
Aurum answers general legal questions in plain English, 24/7, at no cost. It's a good first step to understand the usual process, your rights and the language lawyers use.
Free and low-cost services
- Legal Aid commissions (one in each state/territory) provide free help to eligible people, especially for family, criminal and some civil matters.
- Community legal centres offer free advice on tenancy, debt, family violence, migration and more.
- LawAccess / state hotlines give free telephone guidance on common issues.
- Pro bono programs connect people with lawyers who take cases for free in limited circumstances.
Aurum Legal is not Legal Aid and does not provide representation. We point you to the right free services and help you prepare questions to ask them.
