Reaching out for help when you are experiencing family violence takes real courage. If you're not sure where to start — or whether help is even available for your situation — this is for you.

CAAFLU is here. And everything we do is free.

Who we are

The Central Australian Aboriginal Family Legal Unit (CAAFLU) provides free legal help and support services specifically for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people affected by family violence or sexual assault.

We have offices in Alice Springs and Tennant Creek, and we travel out to communities including Ntaria, Yuendumu, Papunya, Elliott, and Ali Curung.

What we can help with

Our team can help you understand your legal rights, assist with protection orders, support you through police processes, and connect you with other services you might need.

We know how complicated these situations can be — especially in communities where family relationships are complex and where fear of shame or judgment can make it hard to ask for help.

We are on your side

Everything you tell us is confidential. Our team is culturally safe and understands the specific challenges faced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people navigating the legal system in Central Australia.

You don't need to figure this out alone. Call us on 1800 088 884 — it's free.
