The Public Interest Law Clearing House (PILCH) Victoria was a not-for-profit legal referral service, operated from Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
It was founded in 1994, following the model of New York Lawyers for the Public Interest.
PILCH coordinated pro bono legal assistance for Victorian not-for-profit organisations and individuals, to improve access to justice in Victoria by facilitating pro bono legal services to those otherwise unable to obtain it.
Justice Connect continues PILCH's mission, with some slight changes and modifications to the supported programs.
Each scheme received requests for assistance and referred cases to its members after establishing that certain criteria are met.
