Just healthy families
Just Healthy Families (JHF) is a Health Justice Partnership providing free legal help within health and social services to reduce family violence in Tasmania.
A collaboration between Women’s Legal Service Tasmania and Tasmania Legal Aid, JHF partners with the Child Health and Parenting Service, Child and Family Learning Centres, and Hobart Women’s Shelter. Many disadvantaged people, especially in regional areas, don’t seek legal help due to stress, cost, fear, or not recognising their issue as legal. By embedding lawyers in trusted health and community settings, JHF enables early intervention and streamlined support.
Our lawyers also train health and social service staff to recognise, respond, and refer people experiencing family violence, increasing opportunities for assistance.
Our lawyers can talk with you about a range of issues, including:
Violence in your home or family life
Contact with Child Safety Services
Separation from a partner or spouse
Lack of control over your money
Tenancy or housing problems
