Family violence and the Family Law Act
The family law system is undergoing significant reform, which is likely to have major implications for women who have been in violent relationships when developing parenting arrangements post-separation. This training is designed to give workers an overview of key legal and other reforms, the possible consequences for victims of domestic violence, and how workers might support clients affected by these changes. It will also consider ways to support and advocate for victims required to use family dispute resolution to determine post-separation parenting arrangements, including planning for safe processes, and safe parenting arrangements for clients and their children.

Responding to Family Violence
An introductory course for those new to the field of family violence work (less than one year's experience) or workers with no specific family violence training. It covers the effects of family violence on children and adults; ways of asking about violence and responding to disclosures, a brief overview of legal responses and resources and referrals.
