Legal aid family and criminal law policy amendments

Tue Sep 18 2018

Legal aid is available to people at risk of, or experiencing, domestic violence. Changes to family law policies have been incorporated into parenting matters, property matters, child support matters and divorce matters.

The criminal law policies have been amended to clarify the availability of legal aid to people who are victims of domestic violence and defending criminal charges for DV related offences. These changes apply to applications for legal aid determined on or after 17 September 2018. More information is available in Policy Bulletin 2018/9 Family Law Policy – DV changes, click here and Policy Bulletin 2018/10 Criminal Law Policy – DV related changes, click here.
