Youthlaw has a new online resource for young people called StreetSmart at www.streetsmartvic.com.au
It’s designed to be just as easy to use on a smartphone as it is on a tablet or desktop and it has all the important info young people need to know about police, Protective Services Officers (PSOs), ticket inspectors and security guards. All the info is in plain English and it has a heap of useful tips on how to handle yourself with authorities and get free legal help when you need it.
Youthlaw lawyers are available to come out and speak with young people at schools, youth programs and events over the next 6 months about StreetSmart and about their rights when dealing with authorities. If you work with a group of young people who might be interested in having a guest speaker from Youthlaw, please contact us at This email address is being protected from spambots.

The Gatwick Hotel has been for sale for a number of years. On 6 March, the current owners of the Gatwick Hotel announced their decision to close the Hotel. All current residents were advised of this by letter on 8 March 2017.
Following the announcement of the sale of the property, all residents have now been issued with Notices to Vacate within 60 days.
The owners have advised local services that they are no longer accepting any referrals. Can you please also advise relevant staff in your organisation of the Gatwick Hotel's closure.
