COMMON QUESTIONS
Legal Hotline in Australia
Is this legal advice?
Legal Hotline provides legal information — a general explanation of the law relevant to your situation. While this is helpful and relevant, it is not formal legal advice. If you need formal legal advice and/or court representation, we connect you directly with a matched, qualified local Australian lawyer.
What hours is Legal Hotline available in Australia?
24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. There is no after-hours — you can call at 2am on Christmas Day and we will answer.
How does Legal Hotline connect me with a lawyer?
If you need representation, our system sends your enquiry details to qualified lawyers in your area. Lawyers are notified immediately and can claim the referral — often within minutes. You are under no obligation to proceed.
Which states does Legal Hotline cover in Australia?
All states and territories — New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the ACT and the Northern Territory.
How much does a lawyer consultation cost?
The free information line costs nothing to use. A separate one-hour consultation with an admitted Australian lawyer is $295. The fee is shown before payment, and phone, video or in-person appointments depend on lawyer availability.
Can I speak to a lawyer now?
You can call the free information line immediately on 1800 951 176. If you need advice on your own facts, request a lawyer consultation on the call or book online. Urgent matters are prioritised, but the appointment time depends on the right lawyer being available.
