Upcoming training and events

Sector Session: Showcasing the Financial Rights Legal Centre

Join us for our May Sector Session: Showcasing the Financial Rights Legal Centre.

In this interactive session we will hear from Financial Rights' Senior Solicitor Destiny Valencia about the work of the service, what the current big issues in the financial legal space are, tips for dealing with clients' financial matters, and how and when to refer to Financial Rights Legal Centre.

When: 5 May 2026, 12pm - 1pm

Where: Online

Registration: Register for this Sector Session here.

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
