Legal Information Access Centre

The Legal Information Access centre is a NSW state-wide service providing free access to information about the law through the State Library and NSW Public Libraries.

The Legal Information Access centre (LIAC) is free to all members of the community in NSW.

Your local library can supply you with plain language information about the law and free access to the internet.

Many public libraries are LIAC libraries which have additional legal information and  LIAC trained staff.

LIAC gives information on debt, wills, crime, renting, family law, neighbours, unemployment, going to court, legal studies and more …

LIAC provides:

• Free legal pamphlets and fact sheets published by government and legal agencies
• Practical guides to the law containing plain language explanations, strategies and procedures.
• Specialised resources including key legal texts about specific areas of the law
• Lawyers’ tools including specialist commentaries and detailed explanations of the law.
• Acts, regulations and cases from the courts

If you need legal advice, LIAC can also put you in touch with free and fee-based agencies that offer legal advice.
