Upcoming training and events
Sector Session: Misidentification and AVOs Panel
When victim-survivors of domestic and family violence are wrongly identified by police as the perpetrator, the consequences can be devastating. Known as misidentification, this can result in victim-survivors being issued an Apprehended Violence Order or facing other legal consequences.
Join sector experts as they discuss the urgent issue of misidentification, its impact on victim-survivors, and the role community legal services can play in supporting clients who have been misidentified as perpetrators of domestic and family violence.
When: Tuesday 4 August 2026, 12pm - 1pm
Where: Online via Microsoft Teams
Registration: Register for Misidentification and AVOs here.
August Quarterly Network Meetings
The NSW community legal sector networks will meet in August from Monday 10 August to Thursday 20 August.

Victims Services Community Training Workshops
The Victims Services Community Worker Training Program equips social workers, health workers and support workers with the knowledge and resources to complete victims' financial support forms accurately and to provide appropriate supporting evidence to community legal centres making applications.
The training provides guidance for making eligible applications and understanding the nuances of the application process, plus tips for avoiding common mistakes. It aims to ensure that more victim-survivors receive the financial support they are entitled to under the Victims Rights and Support Act.
When: Multiple dates
Where: Across NSW
