Free Legal Help
Lawyers are here to help you. They can give you clear directions about what to do next based on what you want, and they can do things for you like talk to other people, speak in court and draft documents. If you speak to a lawyer, they cannot tell anyone what you have said – including migration authorities, police and family. What you tell them won’t affect your visa, work or education.
Victoria Legal Aid (VLA)
If you have a legal problem, you can read free legal information on the VLA website. They can also give you free and confidential legal advice on the phone in your language and sometimes give you ongoing help with your situation.
Other Services
Some services can provide you with support or information. This might include general information about your options. They are a good place to start when you are having trouble and want to find out more about what you can do.

Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC)
If you feel you have been discriminated against or harassed at work, school, or when purchasing goods and accessing services, you can make a complaint to the AHRC. They will investigate the complaint and may help you fix the problem.
