Community workers are invited to attend the Civil Law Information Forum to learn about the range of civil law assistance services offered by Legal Aid Queensland and how community workers can access legal advice and assistance for their clients.
The forum will feature presentations on:
- Legal Aid Queensland’s civil law services overview and new Regional Civil Lawyer Network
- mortgage stress
- debt and consumer issues
- Disability Support Pensions: practical things to know when applying for this pension.
We welcome your feedback on other consumer law topics you’d like covered at this forum. Please email suggested topics to events@legalaid.qld.gov.au
The forum is a joint Queensland Council of Social Service/Legal Aid Queensland initiative and will provide an opportunity for dialogue about emerging issues common to our work.
Please note the forum presentations will be filmed and uploaded to Legal Aid Queensland’s YouTube channel for community legal education purposes.
