Q+Law: A new legal service with and for LGBTIQA+ communities

Fitzroy Legal Service is excited to announce that we have been awarded funding from the Victorian Government to establish Q+Law, a safe and inclusive legal service for the LGBTIQA+ community in Melbourne and statewide.


In partnership with Queerspace, a service of Drummond Street Services, the new legal service, will be delivered with and for the LGBTIQA+ community.


Q+Law will improve access to justice for LGBTIQA+ Victorians. Q+Law will deliver services at the Victorian Pride Centre, and other community sites including Queerspace and Your Community Health. Legal advice and referrals will be available statewide via phone or online platforms.
