Community access points are local community organisations which people identify as a place they turn to for support in their town. They may be located in courthouses, neighbourhood centres, hospitals, council offices or Queensland Government agencies.
Community access points provide:
- a range of support services to the community
- information about the services Legal Aid Queensland provides, including a sample of our publications
- help to access free telephone legal advice.
Some community access points also have Internet access and some have videoconferencing facilities.
Legal Aid Queensland maintains regular contact with community access points. We provide them with a range of legal information materials, training and tools to help people with legal problems. In turn, they help us to develop local solutions by giving us feedback about local needs and opportunities to provide community legal education.
See Community access points and Legal Aid Queensland for more information.
There are currently 34 community access points across Queensland - see the locations map for contact details.
