LEGAL AID
We Provide Civil Legal Aid Services for your Immigration and Employment Matters.
Legal aid service is a government-funded legal support service for low-income earners who need legal help. Its purpose is to help people resolve their legal cases in court or tribunal without worrying about money to pay for legal services.
In order to be approved for legal aid, you will need to meet the maximum income thresholds, which vary depending on the number of dependents in your family.
Normally, you will be eligible for legal service if you have a partner and two children, i.e. three dependents, and your annual income is less than $61,642. A lower threshold of $54,245 applies if you have two dependents. If you have four dependents, including your partner, the maximum income threshold is $68,882, or $77,002 if you have five dependents in your family.
Other factors considered in your eligibility for legal aid include your capital ownership (including the equity share of your property and access to funds by other means, such as insurance or indemnification.
