Law centre in Geylang Serai brings legal aid to people with special needs, mental conditions

A new law center in Singapore, called the Inclusive Justice Law Centre, provides legal aid specifically for people with special needs and mental health conditions. Launched in March 2025, the center operates at the MINDS Community Hub in Geylang Serai and is managed by Pro Bono SG, a legal charity focused on helping vulnerable groups. The initiative comes as part of Singapore's efforts to improve inclusive justice, including the creation of a task force to address gaps in support for individuals with invisible disabilities within the criminal justice system. The center offers services like deputyship applications and personal protection orders, and aims to bridge understanding between legal professionals and those with complex conditions. Pro Bono SG is also expanding its reach through partnerships with local organizations and has seen increased involvement from younger legal professionals.
