The Southern Community Justice Centre is a community legal centre that offers free, confidential legal advice. The Centre team consists of 5 practicing solicitors, a family advocate, mental health worker and highly experienced support staff.
We can assist with a broad range of legal matters, including:
- Family Law
- Criminal law
- Employment law
- Civil (e.g. neighbourhood / contract disputes) law.
Ongoing assistance and court representation, where relevant, are provided at no cost to eligible clients who cannot afford to pay a private solicitor and do not qualify for a grant of legal aid.
The Head Office is located at 40 Beach Road, Christies Beach, and free legal help is available for people who live or work in the centre’s catchment area, including the southern suburbs of Adelaide, the Fleurieu Peninsula, Kangaroo Island and Murray Bridge.
