Who are we?

Gippsland Community Legal Service (GCLS) is a community legal centre and service of Anglicare Victoria. GCLS has been providing free legal services to the Gippsland community since 2000.


GCLS’ services are available to people who live, work or study in Gippsland and include free legal advice, legal education, law reform advocacy and duty lawyer assistance in family violence intervention order matters.


The primary GCLS office is located at the Anglicare Victoria offices in Gippsland (190 Commercial Road, Morwell).


GCLS also has lawyers based in Bairnsdale and Wonthaggi. Anglicare Victoria has further offices in Warragul, Wonthaggi and Leongatha, and GCLS can utilise those offices when required.


Gippsland Community Legal Service is thankful for funding from the Commonwealth of Australia Attorney General’s Department, Victorian State Government and Victoria Legal Aid.
