RAILS provide free immigration advice, legal assistance and legal education to immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers in Queensland.

Established in 1980, we are a leading non-profit organisation that strives for access to justice for migrants, refugees, asylum seekers and their families.

RAILS take on legal casework in a variety of matters, including:

• Protection Visas

• Refugee Family Reunion

• Family Violence and visas

• Temporary Protection Visas (TPV) and Safe Haven Enterprise Visas (SHEV)

• Community Support Program (CSP)

RAILS strive for a better, fairer legal system through:

• Policy and Law Reform

RAILS build community awareness about the law through our legal education program:

• Continuing Professional Development

• Worker training: we increase the knowledge and capacity of service providers about laws and policies as they affect refugees and migrants.

• Schools: in partnership with Milpera State school, we have developed the 'Law Rap' program which uses music, role plays, and English language activities to educate about the legal system, human rights, consumer law, family, relationships, violence, police, and the courts.

• Legal clinics for law students: we have well developed partnerships with education institutions to provide placements for legal clinic students.
