Supporting you and your rights

Our Services

Who are we?

Encompass Legal and Community Services (ELCS) is a not-for-profit legal centre, established in 1996.

We aim to provide client centred services that are offered primarily across the northern metropolitan area, with some programs extended further across the State. We have offices in Mirrabooka, Wanneroo, Joondalup and Yanchep and we partner with other community focused organisations to deliver diverse services in a range of specified locations.

What do we do?

We provide a unique approach to delivering legal and non-legal support services, as we understand that complex issues require integrated supports and services.

Our support is assured through our multidisciplinary team, comprising of solicitors, tenancy advocates, social workers, financial counsellors, older people’s rights advocates, community legal education staff, program support staff and a valuable contingent of volunteers.

As a nationally accredited organisation, we also provide ongoing community legal education and professional legal education.
