WHO ARE YOU & WHAT MAKES YOU UNIQUE? The Nundah Community Legal Service is operated by the Nundah Community Support Group Inc as an integrated part of the broader Nundah Neighbourhood Centre. We provide all members of the community (especially those most disadvantaged and marginalised) broadly based in the Brisbane North area access to justice through a free, quality often “triage” and sometimes “last resort” generalist legal service. We do this though a weekly Wednesday drop- in advice service staffed by dedicated volunteer lawyers and students together with an employed senior daytime solicitor who sees clients by appointment with sufficient time to provide more extensive assistance. As legal problems do not exist in isolation we take a holistic approach and provide effective information on, and practical referrals to, specialist legal and nonlegal services including to financial and personal counselling. We are the only generalist legal service between the Caxton and the Pine Rivers and Moreton Regional Community Legal Centres and while a small service with limited resources, we maintain an active interest and involvement in community legal education and larger issues through our participation in our peak organisations.

VOLUNTEER PROGRAM While we have no student employment opportunities, we welcome volunteers including students. There is now often significant competition for student volunteer roles and we presently have a full complement. We commence student recruitment towards the end of the year.
