The UMSU Legal Service is currently experiencing high demand, resulting in longer wait times. We aim to respond to enquiries within 5 business days, however we are required to prioritise matters based on their urgency, so you may receive a response earlier or later than this timeframe.

If there are any urgent deadlines in your matter, please let us know in your contact form so we can try and respond to you in time.

We apologise for any inconvenience. You can also contact Victoria Legal Aid's helpline on 1300 792 387 or visit their website (here) for legal information and referrals on a range of areas of law.
