What if I need an interpreter?
If English is not your best language, we book interpreters so you can get help in your language. If you need help to speak or listen, we can use Auslan interpreters and relay services.
Who can we help?
Legal Aid WA tries to help as many people as we can in Perth and across regional Western Australia.
How must we can help will depend on your personal circumstances, your legal problem, and our resources. Some of our services prioritise helping disadvantaged and vulnerable people.
We try to help as many people as possible, but do not give advice on every legal issue.

We have a number of services to help people who are in prison.
What if Legal Aid WA cannot help me?
