Given the multiple and complex issues confronted by people affected by domestic and family violence, this position may also be required to provide basic information and advice in civil law matters related to an individual’s experience of family violence, e.g. apprehended domestic violence orders. Sound knowledge of legislation relating to family law, legally assisted mediations and the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia is essential.
