Solicitors participating in the program will be placed in a regional community that currently does not have enough solicitors working in the area to meet the legal aid needs of local residents.
At present a number of communities are experiencing a shortage in solicitors who can undertake legal aid work. Communities, which have been identified as currently experiencing a shortage are:
- Mackay
- Mount Isa
- Innisfail
- Ingham
- Goondiwindi
- Charleville
It is possible you will be offered a placement in one of the above communities. However, this list of potential placement communities will change, as placements are filled, and other communities in need of your help are identified.
