Family violence foundations
When: Wednesday 3 June, 9:30 am – 1:30 pm
Where: Online
Delivered by Women’s Legal Service Victoria, this training is designed for new professionals providing tenancy services, as well as those who have not previously undertaken family violence training.
The session will introduce a trauma-informed approach to discussing family violence with clients. Using an intersectional lens, participants will deepen their understanding of the dynamics and drivers of family violence and how these intersect with the Residential Tenancies Act 1997.

Community of Practice for RSSP workers
When: Wednesday 17 June, 10 am – 11:30 am
Where: Online
The final session for the network, the Community of Practice is a great opportunity for Rental Stress Support Package (RSSP) workers to exchange ideas and learn from each other’s experiences. We encourage you to bring case studies and insights from your work, especially those highlighting the challenges faced by the clients you support.
Tenants Victoria’s Lead Community Education Lawyer Ben Cording will facilitate the discussion, but the conversation will be driven by your shared experience.
