Legal Services

Hi, I’m James and I’m a senior community lawyer from Youth Law and I run the RMIT Student Legal Services.

RMIT is committed to providing accessible and free legal services to its students. My role as a community lawyer is to help students understand their legal issues and guide them through the options available to them.

The Student Legal Service gives advice on a broad range of legal issues that students are likely to face. Whether it’s an issue with their landlord, with an employer, with their partner or if they’ve just found themselves in a legal dispute with another party, we can assist.

If you’d like to see what we can help with, have a look at our website. [On screen: rmit.edu.au/students/support-and-facilities/student-support/legal]. There are some things we can’t assist on unfortunately, but if you’re in doubt it is best to get the student to ask us and we’ll refer them to a service who can help.

The easiest way for students to get in contact with our service is through an online enquiry on RMIT Connect. [On screen: Student Access, phone 9925 5000, email rmit.service-now.com/connect]. We will follow-up this enquiry with a face-to-face appointment.

If you have any questions about the service or would like to discuss how we can assist your students, please feel free to get in touch. [On screen: rmit.edu.au/students/support-and-facilities/student-support/legal]
