Caxton Legal Centre publishes a number of self-help kits to practically assist people if they face certain legal issues.
Each self-help kit is designed as a guide to legislation and legal process and defines legal terms, outlines a person's rights and may include relevant forms.
Hard copies of kits are provided free of charge through the Centre, although a donation towards production costs is appreciated. Postage costs apply for bulk orders.
