Spotlight On The Shopfront Youth Legal Service

Law for Community Workers

The Shopfront Youth Legal Centre provides free legal assistance for homeless and disadvantaged young people aged 25 and under. We are based in inner Sydney but can also help young people outside this area.

The Shopfront was established in 1993 and is operated jointly by Herbert Smith Freehills, Mission Australia and The Salvation Army. The legal services are provided by Herbert Smith Freehills on a pro bono basis and our case work service is provided by Mission Australia.

We provide legal representation and advice to homeless and disadvantaged young people aged 25 and under.

We also have a case work service to provide social support and referrals to a range of other services.
