Beginning in 1983 as Noarlunga Community Legal Service, in a a small office with one solicitor and a receptionist, the Centre was renamed 2022 Southern Community Justice Centre. Due to continued expansion of the Service since 2002, we now have 3 Community Justice Centres at locations across South Australia:
- Southern Community Justice Centre
- Limestone Coast Community Justice Centre
- Riverland Community Justice Centre
Community Justice Services SA’s Board of Directors is composed of Directors that provide an appropriate mix of skills and experience to meet the responsibilities of the Board/Management Committee and the objectives of the organization, with an appropriate representation of the interests of relevant groups and diversity in backgrounds.
We now operate from Adelaide southern metropolitan, Murray Mallee, Fleurieu Peninsula, Limestone Coast and Riverland. We are the largest Community legal Service provider in South Australia and funded by the Commonwealth and State Attorney-General’s Departments.
Community Justice Services provides free legal services to the community in a professional and friendly environment. We provide free legal advice in the areas of civil, criminal, family and immigration law to most members of the community and free court representation in both the State and Federal Courts as well as casework, all subject to eligibility.
We also undertake Community Legal Education, Law Reform and other community engagement activities.
CJSSA is a not-for-profit organisation, committed to providing a quality professional legal assistance which makes a difference in the lives of individuals, families and communities.
