Legal help for NSW seniors
NSW Attorney General John Hatzistergos has launched a new legal program for older people.
The new program will provide free legal advice, advocacy and community legal education to older people.
The Older Persons Legal and Education Program will concentrate on issues including housing, consumer law, age discrimination and social security.
Legal Aid NSW lawyers will be travelling around the state to conduct advice clinics.
Sydney-based seniors should phone (02) 9281 3600 and other NSW residents can call 1800 424 079.
