Who We Are

Who We Are


At Tasc, we’ve been helping people in Queensland for over 40 years.


We started in 1982 as the Toowoomba Community Legal Service. Recognising that legal problems are often connected to bigger social and economic issues, we expanded our services to include advocacy, and in 2004, we became The Advocacy and Support Centre, or TASC.

We’ve recently returned to our roots as Tasc Community Legal Centre, acknowledging the strong links between the Community Legal Sector and the Disability Advocacy Network in Queensland. Although our name has changed over the years, our purpose is always to serve our communities with care and consistency, using an integrated and holistic approach to problem solving.

We provide services across a large geographical area, including over 400,000 square kilometres in South-West Queensland and an additional 6,000 square kilometres in the Ipswich region.


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.

When you contact us, the Client Engagement team will help you to determine which of our services may be right for you, and they will make an appointment with someone at Tasc who can help.
If you’re unsure if we can help with your enquiry, please contact us to find out. If we can’t help you, we can usually put you in touch with someone who can.

We warmly welcome enquiries from individuals, organisations and businesses. If you have any questions about referring someone you know to Tasc, partnering with us or how to volunteer, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our friendly team via [email protected] or by phoning (07) 4616 9700





The service TASC provides was unavailable to me elsewhere. If not for the support of the kind & professional staff, I may not have endured this difficult & stressful process with my health intact. Thank you TASC, our community & it’s people need you!
