Your Story Disability Legal Support

Do you have a disability or care for someone who does? Do you have a legal problem?

Your Story Disability Legal Support provides free and confidential legal support for people with disability and their families and carers across Australia.

We are a free national service. We are independent of the Disability Royal Commission.

About the Disability Royal Commission

The Disability Royal Commission was an opportunity for people with disability and their supporters to share their stories and ideas for change.

The Disability Royal Commission delivered its Final Report on 29 September 2023. All contributions to the Royal Commission have now closed.

Our service supports people with disability and their families and carers across Australia.

We can give you legal advice if you have a question about the Disability Royal Commission or if you have made a submission or gave evidence at a private session or public hearing.

We can support you with legal problems you might be dealing with, such as the NDIS, discrimination, guardianship, or family violence.

Our caseworkers can give you social support, such as helping you to get NDIS, housing or victims support or providing advocacy with services or referrals.

We can also connect you with other support services, including free advocacy and counselling.

If we can’t help you solve your legal or non-legal problem, we will try to connect you with someone who can.

You can contact us by:

• phone freecall 1800 77 1800
• webchat
• email yourstorydisability@legalaid.qld.gov.au 
• using the online form on Your Story Disability Legal Support website.

Support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people

If you are an Aboriginal and/or a Torres Strait Islander person, we can connect you with a lawyer from a community controlled Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Legal Service.
