Bicultural Legal Concierge Program
The Legal Concierge Program trains and employs multicultural young people living or connected to the Ascot Vale and Flemington public housing estate to provide legal engagement, education, and referrals to the residents.
Legal Concierge workers provide a trusted, culturally competent and safe link between community members and MVLS and improve outcomes and build stronger relationships for community members.
The Legal Concierge Program is gratefully supported by Victoria Law Foundation.
Safe from Harm
Safe from Harm offers Moonee Valley residents free legal advice and assistance in relation to family law and family violence matters. Additionally, culturally specific legal education can also be provided to groups and organisations in the local area.
Moonee Valley Family Violence Network
The Network meets frequently to share updates and build connectedness between services. Regular community engagement events take place each year to increase awareness of family violence and available supports.
