Our research shows that free estate planning assistance is a significant gap in the Moree area that our service can fill. Our number 1 support within our service is the preparation of wills, powers of attorney (POA) and permanent guardianship (EC) documents. Our community rights education project, most often attributed to community groups and organizations, is similar to wills, powers of attorney and GE. We look forward to facilitating the promotion and provision of this type of support and education in Moree. Anyone living in North and North West New South Wales can access our service for free and confidential legal advice and assistance. We are a free one-time advice and referral center. We do not provide ongoing legal representation or processing unless approved for processing in exceptional circumstances. One of our lawyers is available to speak with community groups and organizations, high schools and colleges about our services, but also about any particular area of law that interests them. Moree`s office will be able to provide general support to the community, including: family law issues (excluding property regulation and child support), power of attorney and permanent guardianship, wills (excluding real estate), consumer complaints, credit and debt issues, discrimination, employment and labour problems, criminal law, traffic offences, victim support, neighbourhood disputes, arrest orders for violence, minor-related problems and support for domestic and family violence. The Northwest Community Legal Clinic provides free legal advice to low-income residents of the Kenora and Rainy River districts.

Our latest Family and Family Violence project in Armidale – “Family Violence Affects Everyone, Including the Smallest” – was presented to early childhood educators. The success has been so great that we would like to expand this project to other locations in our catchment area to educate participants about: Moree ranks second in New South Wales for domestic violence attacks and third for ADVO violations. Recent stakeholder feedback is consistent with these statistics, as it indicates that IT and ADVO training would best help customers. We are currently supporting ADVO training in our judicial liaison programme in the Tenterfield and Armidale areas and look forward to expanding knowledge in the Moree area through training and support for frontline clients to reduce the risk of ADVO violations. If you are a current customer, you can reach our staff through the usual channels by leaving messages on our desk phones or by email. Our staff is fully dedicated and able to meet your needs.
