We offer free legal help to veterans, ex-serving members of the Australian Defence Force, ex-reservists, war widow(er)s, or currently serving members about to transition to civilian life.
Our Veterans’ Legal Service outreach clinic runs each Tuesday and Thursday from 10am to 1pm at The Oasis Townsville, 1 Staging Camp Avenue, Oonoonba 4811.
We can help with veterans’ statutory entitlements, including under the :
- Veterans’ Entitlements Act 1988,
- Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation (Defence-related Claims) Act 1988,
- Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2004, and
- invalidity pension matters under the Commonwealth Superannuation Corporation,
and across a broad range of legal issues experienced by veterans during their transition to civilian life, or as a consequence of their service.
If you are navigating a legal issue within our guidelines, we are here to support and assist you, free of charge. If you aren’t sure if your situation calls for legal advice, don’t hesitate to have a chat with us and we can point you in the right direction.
We can also assist eligible clients who live as far south as Mackay, as far west as Mt Isa, and as far north as the Torres Strait.
