Australian legal information platform

Legal Advice Help

Coming soon.

Legal Advice Help is being built to provide clear, practical information across a wide range of legal matters in Australia. The goal is to help people understand the issue they are dealing with, the kinds of questions they should be asking, and the areas where professional legal advice may be required.

What this platform will cover

Legal Advice Help is being structured to cover the kinds of legal situations people commonly run into in day to day life, business, property, employment and personal matters. It is intended to grow into a broad information resource that helps people get clarity before they speak with a solicitor, law firm or legal service provider.

Family law

Separation, parenting arrangements, property settlement, divorce, child support and related questions.

Employment law

Dismissal, workplace disputes, contracts, entitlements, restraint clauses, contractor issues and pay disputes.

Business and commercial law

Commercial agreements, shareholder issues, business disputes, debt recovery, guarantees and general legal risk.

Property and leasing issues

Property disputes, leases, defaults, contracts of sale, co ownership issues and legal questions around land and buildings.

Wills, estates and powers of attorney

Estate planning, probate, contested estates, administration and document preparation issues.

Consumer and contract matters

Service disputes, unfair terms, contract interpretation, payment disagreements and general rights based questions.

What kinds of questions will be answered

  • What kind of lawyer or legal service is usually relevant for this issue?
  • What documents should be gathered before seeking legal advice?
  • What facts usually matter most in legal disputes?
  • How urgent is the issue and when should action be taken quickly?
  • What are the common costs, risks and practical considerations?
  • What can often be handled through information, negotiation or documentation before a dispute escalates?
  • What are the limits of general legal information compared with personalised advice?

Who this is for

This platform is being developed for Australians who need clarity around legal topics, whether they are dealing with a personal matter, a business issue, a workplace problem, a contract dispute or a property related question.

It is not intended to replace professional legal advice. It is intended to make legal topics easier to understand, easier to research and easier to approach.

Current status
