People are bearing the increasing costs of scams, while businesses like banks, digital platforms and telcos, who have resources to protect people from this crime, aren’t doing enough.

If you're renting a home that's damaged in a disaster, it's important to know your rights. Amy Frew from @TenantsVic says landlords must fix fire, flood or storm damage ASAP, even if they haven't received their insurance payout yet. Go to disasterlegalhelp.org.au/ten… for more.

So pleased to meet with @HumRivLegal to talk about their work providing free legal assistance to our region. We also discussed their outreach in the Upper Murray and the urgent need for a specialist family violence court in NE Vic. #Jacqui4Benambra #JacquiHawkins #vicvotes

Broadening the range of expertise in a healthcare team to include #LegalHelp supports clients to gain control of underlying stressors, such as housing, money issues and family safety. Who would have thought seeing a lawyer could be good for your #MentalHealth!
Question: Did you know there could be a role for lawyers in mental healthcare?

Last week, we joined Hume Riverina Community Legal Service at a roundtable conference to discuss access to justice in NE Victoria. We join @HumRivLegal's calls for an investment to ensure victim-survivors of family violence in the region receive the legal support they need.

Replying to @MarkSpeakman
@markspeakman at @clcnsw #ChangeTakesCommunity says CLCs operate on "smell of an oily rag...& (is) well aware of pressures of inflation" Thank you Minister-your support is valued highly. Funding uncertainty & funding decision timing is an ongoing barrier to meeting service demand

Health justice partnerships are already working effectively to respond to the intersecting health, legal and social needs of people experiencing DFV, by ensuring people have access to legal help in places they know and trust. Further investment would strengthen this support. 3/3

"The most vulnerable Australians rely on legal assistance services for access to justice." As legal assistance services struggle to meet demand, further funding is required to ensure everyone in the community has access to the support they need. (1/3) theguardian.com/law/2022/jul…

It is extremely difficult to escape #DomesticViolence without social security as a safety net. So on tonight's @QandA, our CEO Leanne Ho asks: how will the Labor govt ensure that ECONOMIC SECURITY is included in the National Plan to end violence? Tune in at 8.30pm AEST. #QandA
