How to access the free legal services

If you have an issue that you would like to confidentially discuss for free, and you believe it falls into one of the outlined areas, all you need to do is complete the online questionnaire.

The information you give is completely confidential and will only be seen by a student adviser and a lawyer. Your enquiry will then be reviewed and the lawyer will send you a letter of advice or contact you via phone to discuss your situation.

If you have a particular time you do or don’t want to be contacted, simply indicate this in your enquiry.
 

So what do you need to prepare?

We recommend you have a read through our top 3 tips document before starting to make sure you get the most out of this service.

It’s important to note that this is a free legal advice service and cannot help you with:

  • Representing you in court
  • Drafting letters on your behalf
  • Negotiating for you
  • Amending documents
  • Advising on documents you have drafted yourself

If you have any questions regarding this legal service, you can contact a QUT Guild officer on advocacy@qutguild.com.
