WHO ARE YOU & WHAT MAKES YOU UNIQUE? Community Legal Centres Queensland (formerly QAILS) provides support and advocacy for the 33 independent, community led community legal centres operating across Queensland. We work to achieve sustainable and adequate policy and funding decisions to ensure Queenslanders are able to get the legal help they need and to ensure they get access to justice. Community Legal Centres help: » Vulnerable people who can’t afford a lawyer and are not eligible for legal aid » Queenslanders find solutions to everyday legal problems including family violence, relationship breakdown, family law, debt, consumer problems, tenancy disputes, employment issues » Prevent legal problems through education and fair laws and policies » Local communities and communities of interest

VOLUNTEER PROGRAM Volunteers have been involved in almost every area of Community Legal Centres Queensland’s activities. Traditionally the organisation has attracted people with a range of backgrounds and skills, a shared commitment to social justice and a desire to help Community Legal Centres Queensland achieve its goals.

Community Legal Centres Queensland recognises and values the reciprocal nature of the relationship and is committed to providing a volunteer program which both supports Community Legal Centres Queensland’s work; and meets the expectations and needs of individual volunteers.
