    Women's Legal Service Tasmania

    Women in custodial settings face numerous challenges when returning to the community. Pia from Women's Legal Service Tasmania sits down to discuss some of these challenges and the help she and her team can provide.    WLST supports all women including anyone who identifies as a woman, is non-binary, gender fluid, or anyone who has a gender experience that makes accessing support from a women’s service feel right for them. WLST provides free help with legal issues such as family violence, family law, child safety and workplace sexual harassment. WLST's financial counsellors and social workers can also provide additional support.  More information and how to get support from WLST: https://www.womenslegaltas.org.au/  *Name correction at 13.21 - David Denborough.
