Health Justice Partnership

Our partnership with Sydney Local Health District provides access to justice people receiving health care services who may not otherwise seek legal help. Priority is given to clients who are of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander background.

RLC’s Health Justice Partnership (HJP) provides free and confidential legal advice to patients at Royal Prince Alfred (RPA) Hospital, Sydney Dental Hospital and community outreaches, including social housing facilities RedLink and Common Ground.

Additionally, HJP trains health professionals to identify patients’ legal needs.

Issues we can help with

• Money problems
• Housing issues
• Issues with police
• Problems at work
• Discrimination
• Contact with the Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ)
• DCJ care and protection matters
• Domestic violence
