About the organisation

Organisation Name : First Step Legal

First Step Legal (FSL) started in 2008 as a Health Justice Partnership (HJP) within First Step, a not-for-profit mental health and addiction clinic in St Kilda.

In recent years FSL’s services have expanded significantly to incorporate health justice partnerships with seven organisations: the First Step Program, Windana Therapeutic Community, Alfred Health (St Kilda Road Clinic), Better Health Network, Launch Housing, Meli, and Anglicare.
