Small Debt Matters - State law matters
Legal aid is not available for proceedings in a Local Court where the amount in issue is $3,000 or less. Where those proceedings are taken by or for the benefit of applicants at a special disadvantage and where
  • there are exceptional circumstances; and
  • the applicant would suffer undue hardship if legal aid were refused
this exclusion does not apply.

In those circumstances a grant of legal aid for this type of matter is subject to Means Test A, Merit Test A, and general civil guidelines.
