About Refugee and Immigration Legal Service
Refugee and Immigration Legal Service (RAILS) operates in Mater Hill, offering legal assistance to people seeking asylum and migrants in Queensland. The organisation focuses on providing legal advice and casework for individuals who cannot afford private representation. Its team of solicitors and volunteers assists with various visa applications, judicial appeals, and family reunion processes. This service supports the local community by ensuring access to justice for displaced individuals navigating complex legal frameworks.
The office is located within the Mater Hill precinct, situated near the Queensland Children's Hospital. This central location allows clients to access professional support close to major public transport hubs and regional healthcare facilities. In addition to individual casework, the service engages in systemic advocacy to inform migration laws and policies. RAILS also conducts community education programs to inform the public and support workers about refugee rights and legal obligations.
