NT Legal Aid

NTLAC will scale up the capacity of its Respondent Early Assistance Legal Service and provide on the ground legal advice, duty lawyer assistance and integrated referral to Domestic and Person Violence Order respondents in the Katherine Local Court. We will place a lawyer on the ground in Katherine in the Regional Office and Local Court who would work closely with the NTLAC funded Mens Court Support delivered by Catholic Care NT (not legal assistance). They would work with NTLAC Community Legal Education team in increasing understanding of domestic violence in the community.
