Legal Education

We tailor every session to the group in front of us, but the topics we’re asked for most are:

• Family violence and safety
• Separation, parenting and family law
• Renting and tenancy rights
• Fines and infringements
• Wills, powers of attorney and elder rights
• Legal issues for new arrivals and CALD communities
• Youth law issues

Don’t see your topic? Ask us anyway. If we can’t help directly, we’ll point you to someone who can.

If you run a group, service or program and think your community would benefit from a session, we’d like to hear from you.

Sessions are free, run in plain language, and shaped around the real questions your group is facing.

What we need from you:

• At least 4 weeks’ notice
• A minimum of 10 participants
• A completed Expression of Interest Form

If we can’t make a session work, we’ll do our best to find you an alternative or a referral.

If your job puts you in regular contact with people facing legal issues including caseworkers, support workers, financial counsellors, family violence practitioners, and more, we run sessions built for you: what to spot, what to ask, and when to refer.

We’ve also put together free resources you can use anytime, no session required:

• Family Violence Worker Legal Systems Resource for workers supporting people through family violence and family law matters
• Fine or Not for teachers and youth workers educating young people on their rights and responsibilities on public transport
• Guide to Safety tool for community workers supporting clients on temporary visas experiencing family violence to safely leave the relationship and get migration assistance.
