Help and legal resources
We are a small community legal centre with limited resources. Other organisations may also be able to assist you.
Your union – your best protection against exploitation
Unions are best-placed to support you in your workplace. There is a union for every worker in Australia. If you aren’t sure what union covers you, you can fill in this form: https://www.australianunions.org.au/action/for-the-workers/
We are also happy to put you in touch with your relevant union.
