Problems affecting your rights

Your rights being challenged can be a legal problem, even when we don't think of it as legal.

Understand when problems are legal problems

We can all experience problems with things like workplace problems, pay and leave issues or experiencing discrimination.

If you need help with your rights being challenged, there are many legal resources available.

Knowing that your problem could be a legal problem means you can find the help to solve it. 

Find the right help

Whether your problem is big or small, once in a lifetime or every day, Victorian Law Week is an opportunity to learn how the law can help.
