About TASC Community Legal Centre
At Tasc, we’ve been helping people in Queensland for over 40 years.
We began in 1982 as the Toowoomba Community Legal Service, providing free legal help to people who needed it most. Over time, we recognised that legal problems are often connected to broader social, economic and personal challenges. In response, our services expanded to include advocacy and support.
In 2004, we became The Advocacy and Support Centre (TASC), reflecting our integrated approach to legal, advocacy and social justice services. More recently, we returned to our roots as TASC Community Legal Centre, acknowledging our strong connection to the community legal sector and the Disability Advocacy Network in Queensland.
While our name has evolved, our purpose has remained the same:
to support individuals, families and communities with care, consistency and respect.
Our Approach
We take a holistic and person-centred approach to problem solving. This means we look beyond the immediate legal issue to understand the broader circumstances affecting each person.
Our work is grounded in:
- Respect and dignity
- Clear, plain-language communication
- Trauma-informed practice
- Accessibility and inclusion
When you contact us, our Client Engagement team will help determine which of our services may be right for you and arrange an appointment with someone who can help.
If we’re not the right service for your situation, we’ll do our best to connect you with an organisation that is.
Where We Work
Most of our staff are based in Toowoomba and Ipswich, but we also have offices in Roma and Goondiwindi from which we can provide in-person services. Our disability advocacy team also have a presence in Hervey Bay and Gympie too.
