Women’s Legal Services NSW provides free legal advice at Blacktown Women’s and Girls’ Health Centre every second Thursday BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.

During the appointment, you will speak with a fully qualified solicitor from Women’s Legal Services NSW. Each appointment is 40 minutes long, and you need to bring any paperwork you have that is relevant to the matter with you.

If you need an interpreter, please advise at the time of booking. Interpreters can be arranged either to attend in person or via telephone link.

To book an appointment to see a solicitor, phone (02) 9831 2070 or you can email  info@womensandgirls.org.au Please include a contact telephone number for us to respond.

If your call is not answered, please leave a message including a telephone number on which we can contact you during business hours (9.30 am to 4.30 pm, Monday to Friday).

The solicitor can give you advice on a range of matters, and has special expertise in:

• Family Law (including parenting, property and child support)
• Apprehended Domestic Violence Orders (ADVOs)
• Divorce
• Domestic Violence
• Sexual Assault
• Victim’s Compensation

PLEASE NOTE: The solicitor CANNOT give advice on IMMIGRATION matters.

Some things to remember:

• Appointments are made on a ‘first come, first served’ basis, which means that you may need to wait for several weeks before an appointment is available. If you can not make an appointment when it is available, you may be placed on a waiting list for cancellations, but there is no guarantee you will get an earlier appointment.
• When making an appointment, you will be asked a series of questions for the purposes of ensuring correct information is provided to the solicitors. This information is required before an appointment can be made. All information is held in the strictest confidence.
• Please arrive 15 minutes before your appointment time to complete registration paperwork.
• Because legal advice can be technical and make use of words and terminology which can have very particular meanings, solicitors may ask that an interpreter is used even if you feel you do not need one. This applies for people with hearing impairments as well as people whose first language is not English. Should this be the case, it will be discussed with you beforehand.
• Unfortunately, childcare is not available and children are not able to attend legal appointments with their mother/carer. Please arrange childcare prior to attending the appointment. If you are unable to attend an appointment, please contact us as soon as possible so we can give that appointment to someone else. If you do not attend your appointment without advising us beforehand, we may need to put you at the bottom of the waitlist for another appointment. If you cannot arrange childcare, a telephone appointment may be arranged for you. Please let the receptionist know when you are booking your appointment if you will need to arrange this.

If your matter is too urgent to wait for an appointment, contact the Women’s Legal Services NSW telephone advice lines or LawAccess, a government telephone helpline which can assist with basic information about legal matters:

Naturopathy is a system of health care which treats the whole person. Naturopathy considers all aspects of your life and aims to support you back to good health by discovering the causes of your problems not just treating the symptoms. This method of health treatment is based on thousands of years of knowledge and has been used in every culture across the world.

Naturopathy also involves a thorough history taking to gather all those clues and messages the body gives us, and then explores treatment options. These may range from nutritional recommendations and supplementation, herbal medicine, diet or healthy living advice or referral to a doctor or another health practitioner.

Our Naturopath and Healthy Lifestyle Coach Katrina has many years of clinical experience in women’s health and holds an Advanced Diploma in Naturopathy and a Diploma in Herbal Medicine and Nutritional Medicine. She has a passion for preventative health care and education, management of chronic disease and healthy lifestyle coaching.

• $25.00 (working);
• $10.00 (part time workers);
