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 providing trauma informed services to women.
Delivered online or in-person, the training we offer builds the capacity of lawyers and other professionals working in the legal system, family violence practitioners and other professionals to better support family violence victim-survivors to get the legal and social support they need.
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.
