Apply for legal assistance

The Environmental Defender's Office WA (Inc) offers legal services to those who cannot otherwise afford them.

Any request for legal assistance must meet some basic requirements. Here is a guide:

1. Is the matter concerned with environmental protection?
2. Is the matter in the public interest?
3. Is private legal assistance beyond the means of the applicant?

If you answered 'yes' to each of these questions, we may (subject to funding and other commitments) offer you legal advice and legal representation. Please note our ability to help with litigation-related activities is limited by funding restrictions imposed by the Commonwealth government, which funds most of our essential operations.

If you wish to apply for legal assistance, please complete one of the forms below and send it to us.
