What we can't help you with

There are some areas of law that Wirringa Baiya cannot assist you with. These include:

Business and Partnership Law

Corporations Law

Criminal Charges

Buying a House and Mortgage

Commercial Law

Immigration Law

Native Title

Wirringa Baiya cannot assist you if you are having problems obtaining proof of your Aboriginality. 
Wirringa Baiya is not in a position to determine a person’s Aboriginality.
At all times you can expect respect, cultural sensitivity and confidentiality when your speaking to Wirringa Baiya staff. You can expect to speak to a female solicitor, who is sensitive to trauma.

It is important to us that you understand the advice you receive, and if you have any questions about it at all, we are happy to discuss it with you until you’re comfortable with the new information.
