Who we are
LawRight improves the lives of disadvantaged people in Queensland by increasing access to justice through strategic partnerships with pro bono lawyers.
LawRight supports people representing themselves in civil court matters, people facing homelessness and other disadvantage.
LawRight partners with law firms, barristers and members of the legal profession to provide free legal help.
LawRight connects with community agencies, court registries and other partners to target our help to those who need it most.
How we help
LawRight connects Queenslanders with free civil law help through three services.
Supporting people facing homelessness
We provide support to prevent and end homelessness by resolving legal issues connected to a person’s housing, money, and experiencing of violence.
Connecting people to pro bono lawyers
We connect vulnerable people and not for profit organisations with the Queensland legal profession for pro bono assistance in civil law matters.
Support in courts and tribunals
We increase access to justice for vulnerable people navigating complex court and tribunal proceedings.
Support our work
In the 24/25 financial year, over 500 volunteers partnered with LawRight to deliver over 22,000 hours of pro bono support.
These hours increase access to housing, income and legal rights, and improve the health and wellbeing of vulnerable Queenslanders.
Join us to help even more people access justice.
