Have you or someone you know received a fine and aren’t sure what to do next? Whether it’s for parking, public transport, or something else, it’s important not to ignore fines — and there’s help available.
Kingsford Legal Centre is hosting a free, one-hour community education talk to help you understand your rights, responsibilities, and the options available when dealing with fines. The session will be held at Margaret Martin Library in Randwick on Wednesday, 13 August 2025, from 3 PM to 4 PM.
This is a valuable opportunity for families, students, carers, and anyone in the community who wants to be informed and proactive about managing fines — before they become a bigger problem.
What You’ll Learn:
-
What to do if you receive a fine
-
Options to manage or reduce fines, including Work and Development Orders (WDOs)
-
How to apply for a fine write-off or payment review
-
What happens if a fine ends up in court
-
Common misconceptions and mistakes people make when dealing with fines
This session is presented by Kingsford Legal Centre, a trusted provider of free legal services in the community.
Why It’s Important:
Fines can quickly become more serious if left unpaid. Ignoring them can lead to added penalties, licence suspensions, or even court proceedings. Understanding your options early can help you avoid unnecessary stress, financial pressure, and legal trouble.
This talk is designed to empower attendees with practical, up-to-date knowledge and answer common questions in a clear, supportive environment.
