Self-Help Kits

Each self-help kit is designed as a step by step guide to the legal process and defines legal terms, outlines a person's rights and includes forms to be completed. Hard copies of kits are provided free of charge through the Centre, although a donation towards production costs is appreciated.

Please note: links to our Child Support Kits have been removed from the site temporarily, as we are currently in the process of updating these documents to reflect recent changes in legislation. For more information please contact the Centre on 07 3254 1811.
