Question:
My wife and I would like to gain legal custody of our granddaughter, who lives with us permanently. Are we entitled to Legal Aid Assistance for this?

Answer:
Attorney-General's Department - The Australian Government provides funding to legal aid commissions to provide assistance in family law matters. Whether or not an individual will receive a grant of legal aid is determined by the legal aid commission and will depend on the circumstances. You should contact your nearest Legal Aid Commission office to discuss your matter.
