What happens when you call our 1800 number
Women’s Legal Service Tasmania can offer help in many different ways. Our lawyers can give you legal advice and information about your problem.
We also have team members who can help by giving you information on how to deal with financial difficulties, and others who can give you support to stay safe. We have offices in Hobart, Burnie and Launceston, and can also arrange to meet with you at other locations where you feel safe.
Where we are not able to assist with a legal problem, we will try to link you to another service that might be able to help.
