About Us

Women’s Legal Service Tasmania (WLST) is more than a statewide community legal service; we are a lifeline for women across Tasmania, offering comprehensive legal advice, together with an integrated practice of in-house financial counselling and social work services. Our legal services span a dedicated telephone advice line, face-to-face appointments, community legal education, outreach, law reform submissions, and referrals to crucial support services.

With offices in Hobart, Launceston, and Burnie, WLST is funded by the Commonwealth Attorney-General’s Department, recognising that in addition to the general legal problems that can affect everyone, there are some areas of law in which a woman’s experience is different – as a victim of a crime, as a primary carer of children, or through discrimination or lack of equal opportunity in employment or business.

Our focus is on assisting vulnerable women who have encountered family violence, sexual abuse, or discrimination. We create a supportive work environment to maintain our staff’s resilience, attuned to the diverse needs of women from various backgrounds. We are also proud to auspice Tasmania’s first Working Women’s Centre in collaboration with Worker Assist Tasmania.
