La Trobe University Student Legal Service

Free, confidential legal support for all La Trobe students

The La Trobe Student Legal Service offers free and confidential legal help for students enrolled at all campuses of La Trobe University. It is delivered via a partnership between La Trobe University and Holstep Health.

• employment – pay rates, conditions, rights at work and when you leave
• Centrelink payments – entitlements, complaints, reviews of Centrelink decisions or debt
• consumer complaints
• safety and crime
• intervention orders, victims of crime
• family violence
• family law
• minor criminal matters
