Villamanta Disability Rights Legal Service Inc. are combining with Deakin University’s Deakin Law Clinic to provide a Duty Lawyer service at the Guardianship List of VCAT in Melbourne.
The Duty Lawyer service will operate on Wednesdays, starting Wednesday 7th August, until further notice. If you have a Guardianship List hearing coming up, you can contact the Deakin Law Clinic in advance to make an appointment to get some advice and possible legal representation. Contact can be made by phone: (03) 9244 3000 or email: law-clinic@deakin.edu.au
You can also ask to see one of the Duty Lawyers on the day of your hearing if it is on a Wednesday, when you arrive at the William Cooper Justice Centre. Please arrive earlier than your hearing time to make sure you have time to talk with a Duty Lawyer.
