PAX Legal Clinic - Safety and Protection

SAFETY & PROTECTION

PAX Legal Clinic provides free legal assistance to individuals whose safety, privacy, or wellbeing is at risk. We assist people experiencing stalking, harassment, intimidation, blackmail, coercion, violence, exploitation, privacy breaches, and other forms of harmful conduct. Our service is confidential, trauma-informed, and grounded in dignity, compassion, and respect.

Understanding Safety and Protection Issues

Safety concerns can arise in many forms, including stalking, unwanted contact, threats, coercion, abuse, exploitation, digital harassment, privacy breaches, and intimidation. These situations can have a significant impact on a person's wellbeing and ability to live safely and independently.

Australian law provides a range of protections, including Apprehended Violence Orders (AVOs), anti-stalking and anti-intimidation laws, privacy protections, and legal remedies for exploitation, coercion, and harassment. We help clients understand these protections and the practical steps available to improve their safety.

Our role is to assist with legal protection, safety, and access to justice. We do not promote or endorse any particular lifestyle, occupation, or personal circumstance.

We provide legal advice to people affected by physical, emotional, financial, or psychological abuse, coercive control, exploitation, unsafe living conditions, and situations where drug or alcohol abuse has contributed to harm or vulnerability.
