For lawyers

Private lawyers and barristers play a vital role in delivering legal services to disadvantaged Queenslanders.

Each year, these practitioners provide about 80% of legal representation to clients on our behalf.

We could not meet the needs of vulnerable Queenslanders without your help.

Meeting Queensland’s legal needs together
