Family Court Support

Court users in Family Courts may experience additional, complex challenges throughout their proceedings, including family violence, lengthier hearings, housing insecurity, child custody disputes and substance abuse. Court Network meets the unique needs of Family Court users by offering a trauma-informed service, both in-person and over the phone. The path through Family Court can be long, complicated, and involve multiple jurisdictions, and Court Network’s Family Court Support is designed to support the court user throughout their whole journey.

Our Networkers in Family Court support people across Victoria, Queensland, and New South Wales with further expansion in 2025.

To access Family Court Support, please call 1800 571 239.

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 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 11 different languages and are available to download for free.
