Our pro bono work - North Melbourne Legal Service

Since 2006, the Victorian Government Solicitor’s Office has seconded a solicitor to the North Melbourne Legal Service, a community legal centre for those who live, study or work in its catchment area of North and West Melbourne, the Central Business District, Docklands, and parts of Carlton and Parkville.

Our current secondee, Litigation solicitor Huong Nguyen, is part of a current team of four solicitors. Areas of practice are extremely varied, ranging from infringements, intervention orders, divorce applications, civil law matters, criminal law matters and victims of crime compensation matters.

The VGSO has a team of enthusiastic volunteers who also contribute their time to NMLS, and Assistant Victorian Government Solicitor, Litigation Branch, Stephen Lee, is on the Committee of Management.
