Street Law can help people who are experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness.
Are you experiencing homelessness or at risk?
Street law can help people who are experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness. This will include people who have no access or inadequate access to safe, secure, affordable and adequate housing that affords the right to live in security, peace and dignity.
What is your legal issue?
We assist our clients in many different general areas of law, including:
- Fines & Infringements
- Criminal and Traffic matters in the Magistrates Court
- Identity documents (interstate and overseas)
- Criminal Injuries Compensation (applications and recovery orders)
- Police Complaints
- Restraining Orders (applicants and respondents)
- Debts
- Discrimination
- Issues with Department of Communities Housing
We may not be able to assist you where you are a home or business owner, or for issues where you are making a complaint against an outreach legal centre.
Street Law Centre WA acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which we live and work, the Whadjuk people of the Noongar Nation. We recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people’s strength and resilience and pay our respects to Elders past and present. We extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and recognise their rich cultures and their continuing connection to land, sky, waters and community. This land always was, and always will be Aboriginal land.
Anti-racism is an active process that requires committed, consistent, and targeted attention and action. As an organisation focused on justice, equity and decolonising the legal system we have a zero-tolerance policy for racism and are committed to addressing systemic racial privilege and disadvantage. We seek to identify, call out and redress ways of working and systems, including our own, that cause harm or additional hurdles for those who have been racialised.
