Legal Help And Information

Please note: Kids Helpline does not take responsibility for the accuracy of any information accessed outside our website.

The National Children's and Youth Law Centre (NCYLC) is a community legal centre dedicated to helping young people by providing them with advice and information. NCYLC has two services available to help young people access information about the law and answer problems and questions to do with the law. They are called Lawstuff and Lawmail and are available to all young Australians under the age of 18.

• LawMail

  LawMail service allows young people to send an anonymous question to the centre about any problems you might be having with the law. As you can see from the list below, many different things are covered by the law, and your question might be about problems you might be having at home or at school, or about cars and train fines. The centre will email you back with a confidential answer.
