Get legal advice

Northern Territory Legal Aid Commission

This organisation provides legal help if you can’t afford a private lawyer. 

You can receive initial legal advice and representation in court in criminal matters, such as bail applications, every day in the Darwin and Alice Springs Local Courts. They are also at the Local Court in Katherine and Tennant Creek on days when cases are being heard.

The initial advice session is free, however you will be assessed before you are granted ongoing legal advice and you will need to pay a small fee. 

A duty lawyer is also available for legal advice and information on Family Law Court cases. They can help with negotiations, completing forms, and asking for your case to be moved another date.
