We have partnered with Australia’s leading social justice law firm, Maurice Blackburn Lawyers, to launch a free legal consultation service for all our members and their families covering a range of different legal issues our members currently face. The collaboration agreement will provide AASW members and their families with a “one-stop shop” for legal-related enquiries.
The areas Maurice Blackburn can assist with include, but are not limited to:
Court matters
Consent
Mandatory reporting
Complaints
Personal injury
Will and estate planning.
Members or their family can access one complimentary 30-minute consultation with a Maurice Blackburn lawyer per financial year where the query is within Maurice Blackburn’s area of expertise, or a referral to a 30-minute consultation with another law firm where possible if it’s outside Maurice Blackburn’s expertise. Complimentary consultations are not available for employment law matters, these matters will attract a fee for first consultation.
