Reducing the burden of significant debt

Miley was a victim-survivor of family violence, whose mental health was impacted by the severity of the violence. Miley’s support worker referred her to PCLC in relation to her infringements, valued at over $15,000.

The lawyer involved assisted Miley with her application under the Family Violence Scheme through Fines Victoria, detailing the effect of the family violence she had experienced and its consequent impact on her mental health. This application was ultimately successful, resulting in the removal of demerit points incurred in Miley’s name as well as the withdrawal of her entire outstanding fines.

Miley can now focus on her trauma recovery journey without the burden of this significant debt.
