Legal Services

The ASRC Human Rights Law Program offers free legal advice and assistance to people seeking asylum, including those in detention, who cannot afford a private lawyer and have no access to government-funded legal advice.

We provide legal assistance and advice to people who have applied or intend to apply for a Protection Visa, at all stages of the refugee status determination process.

We offer different types of support:

  • Limited assistance in one of our legal clinics
  • Full representation
  • Education and empowerment
  • Referrals

We also actively engage in policy and law reform, community and professional legal education and training, and provide legal assistance to people in immigration detention.

For information about the legal journey, click here.

Please do not walk in or email for legal assistance.
Call the legal team directly at 03 9274 9889 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday between 10:00am–12:30pm.

Individuals in detention: If you are currently in immigration detention in Australia, you can email us at legal@asrc.org.au.

Please note that we will not respond to email requests from individuals who are not in detention. Please include all relevant information including your ID and any documents about your visa status, such as visa grants, refusals or cancellations.

The ASRC acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples and Traditional Custodians of the lands where we live, learn, and work every day.

We pay our respects to them, their customs, their culture, and Elders past and present. We recognise that First Nations' sovereignty and lands were never ceded. This land always was and always will be Aboriginal land.

As part of our commitment to First Nations justice, we support Treaty for Victoria. We pay the rent to Traditional Owners through www.paytherent.net.au
