Justice Access Centres


Justice Access Centres are the place to come when you need help with family law and civil law issues that affect your everyday life. We can help assess what you need, provide information about your legal and related issues and refer you to the services that are available for your situation: self-help and information services; needs assessment; dispute resolution and mediation options; limited legal advice services; community referrals; and free publications.
