In regard to parent inquiries we will provide legal information if it is about police interactions or criminal charges but usually we will suggest you to ask your son or daughter to be the one to contact us. We do have a number of fact sheets on our website you may want to look at ( eg. about fines or school suspensions/expulsions) . We have a fines self help kit you can use. You could also call VLA ( see below) and they can provide very helpful legal information on a range of legal issues related to your children.
In regard to school expulsions & suspensions have a look at our fact sheets. We can only give parents and students basic information and can’t provide representation. You might want to contact Parents Victoria who assist parents.
An alternative to our service it to call Victoria Legal Aid’s Legal Help phone line on 1300 792 387. They provide free advice over the phone from 8.45 am to 5.15 pm, Monday to Friday. They also have a range of comprehensive fact sheets on their website. They will determine if you meet VLA guidelines and if so refer you in house to a lawyer. If not they will provide information & referral.
