Legal outreach service

The Victorian bushfires have been devastating. If you have been directly impacted, we have lawyers available over the coming weeks and months to help you work through legal issues and get back on your feet.

If you have a bushfire-related legal question or issue, you can visit our lawyers at:

• Bairnsdale Bushfire Recovery Centre, 24 Service Street, Bairnsdale
• Upper Murray Community Recovery Hub, Cnr Donaldson Street and Towong Road, Corryong.

We can help with bushfire-related issues such as:

• Making an insurance claim or dealing with a rejected insurance claim
• Difficulty paying your mortgage, rent, bills or loans
• Disputes with your landlord about rent, lease or damaged property
• Lost or destroyed documents, including Wills, land titles and identification documents
• Property or assets that have been damaged or destroyed
• Difficulty getting payments from Centrelink
• Family law issues (eg custody and parenting arrangements)
• Family violence.
