Singapore will launch its first Inclusive Justice Law Centre to provide legal awareness, guidance, and representation for people with disabilities [1].

The initiative addresses systemic barriers to the legal system by integrating legal services directly into the community. By pairing lawyers with psychologists, social workers, and other disability-sector professionals, the centre aims to ensure that individuals with non-visible conditions receive comprehensive support [1, 2].

Pro Bono SG chairman Dinesh Dhillon said the one-stop hub was announced [1, 3]. The project was first announced on March 16, 2026 [4]. According to the organization, the centre is slated to open in the third quarter of 2026 [5].

The centre focuses on both visible and invisible disabilities. This approach recognizes that individuals with mental health conditions or non-apparent disabilities often face unique challenges when navigating the judiciary, hurdles that traditional legal clinics may not be equipped to handle [1, 2].

By creating a multidisciplinary environment, the centre intends to move beyond simple legal advice. The integration of social workers and psychologists allows the legal team to understand the specific needs of the client before and during legal proceedings [1, 2]. This holistic model seeks to improve the overall quality of justice for marginalized groups within the Singaporean legal landscape [2].

Pro Bono SG continues to expand its reach to ensure that legal aid is accessible to those who cannot afford private representation or who struggle to access traditional law offices [1, 3].

“Singapore's first Inclusive Justice Law Centre will be a one-stop hub offering legal awareness, guidance, and representation.”

The establishment of this centre signals a shift toward a multidisciplinary approach to legal aid in Singapore. By acknowledging 'invisible' disabilities, the state is expanding the definition of accessibility in the justice system, moving from physical access to cognitive and psychological support.
