PLEASE NOTE: QCCL is unable to provide legal advice or direction.
We are a group of volunteers who aim to make sure that the civil liberties of Queensland citizens are maintained through public advocacy and lobbying and as such we cannot provide legal advice on individual cases.

If you need legal advice in a matter, you will need to contact a lawyer or firm able to manage your matter appropriately. If you are unable to afford legal representation, we recommend contacting your local community legal centre.
