Eastern Community Legal Centre provides free legal advice and assistance for a range of matters, including:

• Family violence and intervention orders
• Family law
• Elder abuse
• Victims of crime
• Infringements and fines
• Car accidents – property damage
• Neighbourhood disputes
• Debt and civil matters
• Criminal charges or problems with Police

These areas are subject to our Legal Advice and Casework Guidelines.

We mostly assist people who live in the local government areas of Boroondara, Knox, Manningham, Maroondah, Whitehorse and the Yarra Ranges.

We offer free interpreter services for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) clients. The interpreter’s role is to objectively translate conversations between the lawyer and the client. We prefer to use accredited interpreters to ensure confidentiality and accuracy of the information.

We are committed to preserving client confidentiality and privacy at all times.
