Family Relationship Centre Project

Separating families now have access to additional legal information and advice thanks to a new partnership project.

The Eastern Family Law Pilot has a focus on community lawyers and mediators (Family Dispute Resolution Practitioners) working together to assist families as they negotiate the family law system.

The new project sees lawyers from ECLC and Victoria Legal Aid (VLA) providing targeted legal information and advice to clients of the Ringwood FRC on a regular basis. It is a partnership of ECLC, the Ringwood Family Relationship Centre (FRC), VLA and Eastern Domestic Violence Service, funded by the Commonwealth Government.

While the FRC has been running information sessions for families attending their service, these sessions include a specific legal component drawing on the expertise of the community lawyers. In addition, lawyers from ECLC and VLA conduct advice sessions at the FRC, while maintaining independence and confidentiality.

The Ringwood FRC is operated by EACH in partnership with Relationships Australia. ECLC has worked with EACH for many years, especially through its outreach services.

For more information, please contact Ringwood Family Relationship Centre on 9871 6300 or ECLC on 9285 4822.
