Court Network operates a program at the Domestic and Family Violence Reception Desks in Queensland, and has tailored resources for court users from diverse backgrounds.
Domestic and Family Violence Reception Desk
Court Network volunteers manage and operate Domestic and Family Violence reception desks in five DFV specialist court locations in Queensland.
Our Networkers are there to help get you checked in smoothly, enhance your safety and wellbeing, and ensure you’re ready to have your matter heard.
We are currently operating in Beenleigh Magistrates’ Court, Brisbane Magistrates’ Court, Cairns Magistrates’ Court, Ipswich Magistrates’ Court, and Southport Magistrates’ Court.
Multicultural Resources
These resources are general guides only, and information is subject to change as court processes change. If you have any questions about these free non-legal support resources, please contact us.
Attending VCAT or the Magistrates’ Court can be a stressful experience for anyone and can be made more stressful if you are not sure what to expect or how to prepare. To better support court users from diverse cultural backgrounds, Court Network has created a suite of resources with information and guidance on court processes and protocols in Victoria.
Our resources have been translated in multiple languages and are available to download for free.
