Knowmore Legal Service is a nationwide service, supporting victim-survivors of childhood abuse and the Stolen Generations, in accessing legal redress and justice. Together with our website, www.knowmore.org.au, this page allows you to keep updated with information about our service, which provides free, independent legal advice to survivors of child sexual abuse. Please note, we cannot provide service delivery, legal advice, counselling support, or respond to your individual circumstances via the page. If you wish to engage with our services please call us for free on 1800 602 762 (Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm). It must not be relied on as legal advice. You should seek legal advice about your own particular circumstances. The page is open to anyone who wants to keep updated with knowmore’s activities and events. Here are a few simple rules to make sure it’s an enjoyable, safe place for everyone:
* Be polite. It’s ok to disagree with others, but please do so respectfully.
* Protect yourself. Please don’t include any personal information such as your legal queries, individual circumstances or details of trauma suffered. If you need to discuss personal or sensitive information call 1800 605 762 between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday. Alternatively, you can send us a private message and we’ll call you back in business hours to discuss.
* Before you upload anything to the page – text, images, video or audio – make sure you're allowed to do so. It's your responsibility to ensure that any content you post doesn't infringe the intellectual property, or other rights, of other people or organisations.
* If we have concerns that you've infringed others' rights, we may delete any content that has been uploaded or posted.
* If you're posting images or videos that identify other people, respect their privacy and check that you have their permission.
