About Us

Who are we?

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

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

What do we do?

We provide a unique approach to delivering legal and advocacy or social work support services, as we understand that complex issues require integrated programs.  This is achieved 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.  We also provide ongoing community and professional legal education.

We are a nationally accredited organisation.
