About Bayside Community Legal Service (BCLS)

Bayside Community Legal Service (BCLS) was formed in 1992 and is a generalist legal practice that provides free frontline legal help to the Bayside community. BCLS mission is to maximise access to professional legal advice and assistance on behalf of persons who would otherwise be unable to access such advice or assistance. BCLS' core activities are the provision of delivery of legal advice, legal tasks, casework, mediation, providing information and referrals. Whilst delivering generalist community legal advice and help, our team also provides the community with Community Legal Education (CLE) activities and resources. In addition to the Wynnum Community Centre, BCLS also provides legal services by delivering regular outreach clinic services throughout the Bayside Community, working in collaboration with our many community and Government service partners.
