What the service does
This service connects people affected by cancer, including carers, with volunteer lawyers who provide advice on cancer-related legal issues. Lawyers can help patients prepare a will, appoint an enduring power of attorney (a person to make financial and property decisions on their behalf) or an enduring guardian (a person to make health and lifestyle decisions on their behalf). Lawyers can also assist patients and carers with employment law, superannuation, insurance claims, and credit or debt issues. The service is for people who cannot afford professional advice. Eligibility is assessed and a fee may apply if people don't meet the criteria.
