| Our referral services |  |
QPILCH can refer individuals or community organisations with a legal problem to member law firms and/or barristers for pro bono (free) legal assistance. QPILCH runs 3 referral services:
|
In all schemes, to be eligible for assistance you must not be entitled to legal aid, be unable to afford private legal help, and your matter must have strong prospects of success.
If QPILCH assesses your matter as being eligible for assistance, then we will attempt to refer your matter to a law firm and/or barrister for legal assistance. QPILCH does not itself give legal advice or assistance.
To apply for a QPILCH referral service, please complete and return the following application form with all relevant documents.

What we don't do:
Due to limitations in resources and expertise, we do not refer matters in relation to the following areas of law:
|
 | Family | |
Criminal | |
Complex building disputes | |
Matters which do not apply Queensland law or are not otherwise connected to Queensland, for example, the matter is being heard in a court based outside of Queensland. |
|
| Direct services | |
We also operate several other services where direct advice and assistance is provided. You can submit an application form for these services or attend at one of the locations, as explained by clicking on the services listed below.
