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
Registration: See all dates in the program and register here.
