Caxton Community Legal Centre
Represents people who are disadvantaged when they come into contact with the law. Advocate to government, provide legal advice and social work services.
Caxton Legal Centre represents the interests of people who are disadvantaged or on a low income when they come into contact with the law. We do this by strategically advocating to government, providing legal advice and social work services, publishing legal information and building community awareness about the issues faced by the people we help.
Caxton is an independent, non-profit, non-government community organisation. We are committed to achieving the best outcomes for people who are on a low income or otherwise disadvantaged by working with partners from the community, government, university and private sectors.
Caxton has played a central part in Queensland’s legal landscape over the past 40 years, leading the state’s first Stolen Wages case, successfully representing well over 100 victims of the 2011 floods and paving the way for multidisciplinary service delivery to people experiencing elder abuse.
