Who are we?
The Shopfront Youth Legal Centre is a free legal service for homeless and disadvantaged young people aged 25 and under. The Shopfront is a joint project of Mission Australia, the Salvation Army and the law firm Herbert Smith Freehills.

What do we do?
- Give young people legal advice and represent them in court.
- Help educate young people about their legal rights.
- Inform and train youth workers about legal issues.
- Campaign for better laws and policies relating to disadvantaged young people.
