Mackay Regional Community Legal Centre Inc.

The MRCLC provides free legal advice, community legal presentations and drafting of legal documents. The Mackay Regional Community Legal Centre (MRCLC) delivers its legal services under six main funding programs. Under these programs, MRCLC provides a holistic legal service to vulnerable and disadvantaged residents in the Mackay, Whitsunday and Isaac Regional Council areas. This includes the provision of legal information, referrals, advice, task work and casework. The MRCLC also delivers community legal education sessions on various topics, including family law, tenancy law, employment law, consumer protection and domestic and family violence, to ensure that legal information can be delivered to vulnerable groups of people. These community legal education sessions are also delivered to staff at local support services. MRCLC also offers an Outreach service to provide face to face legal services to clients that reside in rural, regional and remote areas and would not otherwise be able to access free legal services in person. MRCLC also provides advocacy services to clients under our Domestic and Family Violence Duty Lawyer program, as well as our Mental Health Review Tribunal program. These six programs help MRCLC reach its main objectives, as residents in our service area can access free, confidential and accessible legal services across a wide range of areas of law under these programs. MRCLC aims to address the inequalities in the legal system that are faced by disadvantaged people and create a more just society by providing a quality legal service to those that may not otherwise be able to afford legal services.
