Our Online Help
Online Help guides you to:-
Anyone can use our Online Help service. We encourage family members, carers and friends of people with mental challenges to use our Online Help. Referring organisations can also use it to find help for their clients.
Mental Health Tribunal Representation
The Mental Health Legal Centre (MHLC) provides Mental Health Tribunal hearing representations. MHLC recognises the alarmingly low level of legal representation available to those on compulsory treatment orders in the public mental health system. We believe that everyone has a right to representation and should be empowered and supported throughout the process.
General Legal Advice
MHLC offers free legal advice on a range of matters to mental health consumers. Our telephone line 9629 4422 is open:
Tuesday to Friday
9 am – 12 pm and 2 pm – 4 pm.
Advance Statements
We can help you to prepare an Advance Statement. We work with consumers to understand what treatment is wanted and to ensure that this is expressed clearly in their Advance Statements.
Inside Access
Inside Access provides civil legal and other support services to people in correctional and forensic facilities in Victoria.
Bolton Clarke
The MHLC and Bolton Clarke’s Homeless Person Project has been very successful in working together to deliver an effective, responsive and high quality Health Justice Project (‘HJP‘). This HJP provides increased access to justice and improved outcomes for a vulnerable cohort of Victorians.
