Aboriginal Family Law Services

We are a not-for-profit organisation, that assists Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people live free from family violence and sexual assault. We not only offer free legal services, but community education and early intervention and prevention programs as well.

OUR VISION

To lead and provide holistic family and sexual violence legal and prevention services for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Western Australia.

OUR MISSION

To support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander survivors of family, domestic and sexual violence to access legal services and to promote safe families through community education, early intervention and advocacy to end the cycle of violence and improve life outcomes.

Funded under the Prime Minister and Cabinet as a Social Emotional Wellbeing Program, we strive to Close the Gap in Aboriginal peoples’ access to justice, and empower our people to implement strategies for safer communities.

We are a part of the 14 National Family Violence Prevention Legal Services, and the largest service in Australia with 6 regional offices in Western Australia. The organisation incorporates the regionalisation model, with offices in Broome, Carnarvon, Geraldton, Kalgoorlie, Kununurra, and Port Hedland. Each office employs a Regional Managing Solicitor, as well as appropriate legal and support staff. The six regional offices are supported by a corporate services office based in Perth.
