SERVICES
We have a team of lawyers who specialise in Child Protection, Domestic Violence and Family Law. The team understands the system was not built by or for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women, so we aim to navigate the justice system in a culturally grounded way that upholds our legal obligations.
WHAT SERVICES DO WE PROVIDE?
FNWLSQ is committed to working with its community networks to provide a range of legal services and to promote and advocate for law reform as appropriate. The core work of FNWLSQ is to provide Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Women with the following:
