The Legal Aid Commission of Tasmania's (LACT) Guidelines for granting legal aid have been consolidated and re-organised into a number of parts, to reflect the steps involved in the grants process.

After establishing that LACT is the appropriate Commission to apply to, the means test determines financial eligibility for aid. Next, eligibility is assessed based on matter type in accordance with Commonwealth and State Government guidelines, which may also require an assessment of the merits of the case.

The balance of the guidelines cover administration of the grant and payment of fees to lawyers.
