Who we are 

The LGBTIQ Legal Service is a state-wide, free community legal service for Victorians provided by St Kilda Legal Service. Our vision is a fair, safe and inclusive Victoria where every LGBTIQ+ person is treated with dignity and respect before the law. Our mission is to improve the lives of LGBTIQ+ people in Victoria by providing safe and inclusive legal services and addressing systemic inequality.

What we do

We provide free help for LGBTIQ+ people in Victoria, and in particular people who have experienced discrimination, harassment and/or violence on the basis of their LGBTIQ+ identity; LGBTIQ+ people impacted by family violence; and trans and gender diverse people who have a legal issue related to their gender identity.

In addition to legal advice and representation, we also engage in community legal education and professional legal training, advocacy, law reform, education and media. 

We are an inclusive service with a specialised understanding of LGBTIQ+ community-specific legal needs. 

We need your help

In order to meet the demand for our service and LGBTIQ+ legal need, ongoing financial support for our service is essential. 

If you believe in the services we provide and want to ensure continued legal support and advocacy for in-need LGBTIQ+ people living in Victoria, please donate today. With every dollar you can spare, you are helping improve the life of a disadvantaged LGBTIQ+ community member - thank you!
