PACER Referrals

In 2019, IMCL has developed a partnership with the Inner-West Police and Clinician Emergency Response (PACER).

Through this partnership, we offer free legal information and assistance for individuals coming into contact with Inner-West PACER.

Online referrals can be made via the following form. We will respond to all enquiries within 24 hours (Mon-Fri).  

Phone referrals can be made by contacting the PACER intake line on 0409 372 810 or (03) 9012 8586.

For more information about the Community Legal PACER partnership, contact Cedric Hassing, Senior Lawyer on Cedric.Hassing@imcl.org.au or 90128586
