Any contact with the law can be a scary experience, more so when you are an
international student unfamiliar with the legal system. Our Info Sheet on
legal issues is a good introduction to your rights while a temporary resident
of Australia and also to the legal system.
Sometimes it may be necessary for you to seek legal advice in relation to traffic
accidents, offences, immigration (visas), tenancy, domestic violence, discrimination,
illegal drugs and many other matters affecting our lives. Many people suffer
unnecessarily because they fear seeking legal advice would be expensive. Legal
advice and assistance can be obtained for free or at the reduced cost.
If in doubt, speak to an International Student Adviser about your situation
to determine whether professional assistance is needed and where to seek help.
All discussions are kept confidential.
