What is the workshop?

This workshop is for practitioners who assist women to better understand the legal needs of your clients. This includes Social Workers, Domestic Violence workers, Lawyers, Child Protection Workers, Community Service Providers, Aboriginal Access Officers, General Practitioners, Health Workers and any other related industries. 

Women’s Legal provides casework services and legal advice to women in our 3 key programs. 

• First Nations Women's Legal Program
• Working Women's Centre
• Women's Legal Service

Attend this workshop to learn more about how we can support you and the women you assist. We provide practical, customised legal training for professionals to build on their specialist expertise. 

This workshop will explore how you can refer your clients to us, build understanding around areas of law which disproportionately effect women, and offer an opportunity to network with other services in the space. 

Relevant areas of law we will be providing training on can include:

• Domestic Violence & the new Coercive Control Laws 
• Changes to Family Law Amendment Act: Property and Parenting Matters
• Apprehended Violence Orders 
• Victims Support

Women’s Legal Service NSW was started over 40 years ago by a group of feminist lawyers who set out to advocate for gender equality and make the legal system fairer for women. They travelled across NSW in a yellow Kombi, providing free information and advice. We honour those women and as a specialist, state-wide legal service focused on women’s safety and economic security continue to travel across NSW to connect with frontline DFSV services, women’s health providers and community partners.

We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands on which we live and work and pay our respects to elders past and present.
