The Referral List is a collection of Tasmanian legal and non-legal organisations and support services.
The Ombudsman provides free, impartial, informal and timely resolution of complaints to promote fairness, openness and good public administration. There are separate officers for matters concerning the State of Tasmania and for those relating to the Federal Government.
The Ombudsman can assist you with your complaint about the administrative actions of a government agency or authority, or local government council.
There are also bodies appointed to resolve disputes within particular Industries, Departments or particular areas of concern.
Please give us feedback about your experiences using Foolkit and ideas for improvements.
1800 633 937
Trained counsellors are available 24 hours, seven days a week.
Police 000 or contact your local police station
Unfortunately Rural Law Online is no longer available.
The information on Federal legal issues applies in Tasmania, but information on their State laws may not apply in Tasmania and should not be relied upon without legal advice.

A major event can affect different aspects of a person’s life. The most immediate legal issue can sometimes overshadow other legal or social issues simmering beneath the surface. Early recognition of these issues will help a person take better control of their situation.
Fitzroy Legal Service produce Between a Rock and Hard Place - A workers manual to the legal system. This comprehensive guide takes a welfare perspective of the law and is an excellent starting point for workers in disability, youth, drug & alcohol and other community/welfare sectors who need to understand the legal system but don’t want to get bogged down by the law.
To locate a service in Tasmania use the Community Services Directory at the top of this page. Please use this tool as a suggestion only outside Victoria as the laws and court systems are very different between the States.
