Training
Our trainers draw on Women’s Legal Service Victoria’s more than 40 years of working with women with legal issues arising from family violence and relationship breakdown.
Our training is evidence-informed and draws on best practice, as well as our practical on the ground experience working with women.
Delivered online or in-person, our training builds the capacity of lawyers and other justice system practitioners, family violence practitioners and other professionals to better support family violence victim-survivors to get the legal and social support they need.
We share invaluable knowledge of the law, government policies, evidence-based research, as well as our practical on the ground experience working with women.
We can tailor courses to suit the needs of professionals and organisations across the not-for profit and community sector, as well as private business, government, and other organisations. Get in touch.
