Meet Rahman*, who was just 17 when violence at home forced him to leave with nowhere safe to go. As a New Zealand citizen, Rahman wasn’t eligible for Youth Allowance, leaving him without income, support, or a safe place to sleep.
When Rahman came to Marrickville Legal Centre, he was scared and unsure of his rights. Our team helped him navigate complex legal processes, including securing Australian citizenship and victims’ compensation. Today, thanks to MLC’s advocacy, Rahman is safely housed and receiving the support he deserves.
Sadly, many young people in our community face similar barriers.
As EOFY approaches, your tax-deductible gift can help provide free legal support to young people facing crisis, homelessness, and complex legal barriers when they have nowhere else to turn.
