Fundraising for legal expenses
We help raise funds to assist with legal and related case expenses, including representation, court documents and expert assistance where appropriate.

Justice should not depend on your ability to pay.
Supporting people who have been falsely accused or wrongfully convicted.
The Miscarriage of Justice Support Fund Inc. (MJSF) is an independent Australian charity dedicated to helping people affected by potential miscarriages of justice.
We help raise funds towards legal expenses and connect people with volunteers who can contribute their time, knowledge and expertise.
Entirely volunteer-run, with no government funding. Our work is made possible by people who believe that access to justice matters.
Independent
MJSF receives no government funding. Our work depends on donations, volunteer contributions and organisations that share our commitment to access to justice.
How we help
Volunteer support
Our organisation is powered by volunteers. Individuals and professionals contribute their skills, experience and time to support people affected by potential miscarriages of justice.
Access to legal technology
Through the generosity of FIA Labs, MJSF users can benefit from sponsored access to LIA Pro, an AI-assisted legal research and analysis platform.

If you believe you or someone you know has been falsely accused or wrongfully convicted, you can contact MJSF to enquire about available assistance.
