Sometimes a legal problem is just one part of a much bigger picture. Our social workers work alongside our lawyers and financial counsellors to make sure you get the right support — not just for your legal situation, but for your life.
Whether you need help with safety planning, finding housing, or just working out where to start — we’re here.
Our social workers can support you with:
Safety planning
creating a practical plan to help keep you and your children safe
Crisis support
helping you navigate urgent situations and access emergency services
Referrals
connecting you with housing, counselling, financial assistance, and other support services
Practical assistance
help accessing emergency funds through WLSWA's crisis fund for urgent needs
Emotional support
a safe space to talk through what you're experiencing
Accompanying you to appointments or hearings where needed.
We understand that you may not just walk through our door with unmet legal needs that are impacting your wellbeing.
Our social workers are available as part of Women’s Legal Service WA's integrated team and can work with you alongside — or independently of — our legal and financial services.
Your privacy is respected at all times. What you share with us stays with us, unless you give us permission to share it or we are legally required to do so.
