A holistic multi-disciplined service delivery is able to resolve client’s problems in a one stop shop approach.

PCLS strives to provide assistance to virtually anyone who walks in the door and then targets more intensive services such as casework, advocacy, court representation, and community education to those experiencing or most at risk of social exclusion.  PCLS does not only provide legal advice and assistance, but also encourages and enables people to develop skills to be their own advocates.  As a service delivery strategy, PCLS makes every effort to provide information, referral and advice early to prevent problems escalating.

‘It is important to emphasise that the value of [the] preventative work [provided by CLCs] is far greater than the reactive costs that would be incurred in the absence of such services. The fence at the top of the cliff not only saves lives, but it is also much cheaper than the ambulance at the bottom.’

Our objectives:

To promote, protect and enhance the rights and interests of individuals, groups and organisations within the Pilbara region who are disadvantaged in their access to justice; and contribute to reform of laws and structural inequities to achieve human, fair and equitable outcomes.

To provide accessible, equitable, responsible and culturally appropriate advice, support, advocacy and counselling to the people of the Pilbara.

Pilbara Community Legal Service recognises the traditional owners of the lands across the Pilbara region and particularly the traditional owners on which the Pilbara Community Legal Service Offices are situated. We pay deep respect to Elders both past and present.  

If you would like to refer a client to one of our services please complete an External Referral Form and email to the nearest PCLS office.
