We accept ProBono referrals through the Cancer Council Australia ProBono referral scheme and the Law Society of NSW ProBono scheme. We do not receive grants or funding from the government and we do not do Legal Aid work in Family Law Matters. This is entirely our own way to give back to our community. We recognise that some people in need cannot receive Legal Aid even though they are in desperate need of help!

We accept ProBono (free legal assistance and representation) referrals in Queensland and New South Wales only.

As of 2024, Genuine Legal has committed to participating in the Cancer Council’s Pro Bono Program, which aims to alleviate the financial burden of legal costs associated with family law matters for individuals affected by cancer. According to Assess Economics, the average cost of a cancer diagnosis is approximately $50,000; this is a significant expense that the Pro Bono Program seeks to mitigate by covering legal fees that patients may incur during their treatment. The legal needs of cancer patients can be extensive, including advice on leave entitlements and managing mortgage payments while they are unable to work.
By joining this program, Genuine Legal will provide expert guidance and support in will creation and estate planning for individuals affected by cancer. We have communicated the range of services we offer to the Cancer Council, who are now referring clients to us. To date, we have drafted and executed pro bono wills for numerous clients. We are honoured to contribute to this Pro Bono Program and leverage our expertise to assist those affected by cancer in any way we can.
