Legal Support for Indigenous NFPs

A new legal support service will provide pro-bono legal advice for Not for Profit (NFP) Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Corporations.

LawHelp will give corporations registered under the Corporations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) Act 2006 access to pro-bono legal advice from established law firms across Australia.

LawHelp has been developed by the Office of the Registrar of Indigenous Corporations and the Australian Government Solicitor.

LawHelp will help Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations with contract negotiations, intellectual property arrangements, property management, tax issues and employment management.

Eligible corporations include medical services, native title bodies, community stores, art centres, media organisations and those delivering key environmental health, municipal and remote services.
