Know your rights – navigating family violence supports
Join us for this FREE online webinar where a panel of experts will explore the rights of victim survivors of family violence and how to navigate support services, including legal, housing, financial and recovery.

The webinar is being run in collaboration with Maroondah and Monash City Councils in support of Are you Safe at Home? Day. The day provides an opportunity to ask someone in your life, ‘are you safe at home’.
