The Tasmanian Refugee Legal Service (TRLS) is a not-for-profit
organisation established to provide migration-related legal services to
refugees, migrants, asylum seekers and other humanitarian entrants in
the Tasmanian community. Due to their circumstances, these clients may
otherwise be unable to access legal assistance that is free, or
available in Tasmania.
TRLS is the only dedicated refugee, migrant, asylum seeker and
humanitarian entrant legal service in Tasmania. TRLS addresses an
access-to-justice gap that manifests from the unique circumstances of
this cohort. TRLS’ legal services significantly improves the operation
of the justice system for persons residing in Tasmania who would
otherwise be without access to legal services.
The Family Violence Migration Service (FVMS) is a free and
confidential legal service delivered by the Tasmanian Refugee Legal
Service.
The FVMS provides migration advice and casework assistance to
victim/survivors of family violence who are on temporary visas and whose
visa status may be impacted by the family violence or by the breakdown
of their relationship.
