Girls Gotta Know

Legal Information for Young Women

About Us Contact Us
  • Relationships Some relationships end up happily ever after; but let's face it, some don't. Everyone should know the basics about how the law applies within a relationship as well as how it applies after a relationship has broken down.
  • Partying and Trouble Partying, alcohol, drugs, internet - knowing how the law applies to you can help keep you out of trouble (or help you to know what to do if you get into it).
  • Housing and Renting Thinking of flying the coop? Having an understanding of how much buying a house, or renting and living by yourself (or with others) will cost is very important for this adventure to be drama free.
  • Employment Looking for a job? Have a job? Knowing about your rights and entitlements in the workplace is as important as knowing where to get help if things don’t go to plan.
  • Money Money, money, money… we would like lots of it, but sometimes we have none or not enough. Sometimes we like to spend it too.
  • Extras Check here for any extra information you may be looking for - do you need a lawyer? What about signing contracts, or seeing a doctor on your own? Do you have to vote? Come and see if we have an answer for you.
