Health Justice Partnership

Our partnership with Sydney Local Health District places solicitors in health care settings, providing access to justice for patients who may not otherwise seek legal help. We also train health professionals to identify patients’ legal needs.

RLC’s Health Justice Partnership provides free and confidential legal advice to patients at Royal Prince Alfred (RPA) Hospital, Sydney Dental Hospital and at community outreaches including the Men’s Cave and RedLink.

Issues we can help with include

Money problems
Housing issues
Issues with police
Problems at work
Discrimination
Contact with Family & Community Services (FACS)
FACS care and protection matters
Domestic violence

Our service is confidential and free. Priority is given to assisting clients who are of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island background.
