January 08, 2026Legal team empowering a client towards safety and security
Ling* was initially referred to our legal team by a Family Relationship Centre (FRC) for family law advice concerning the division of property in her marriage.
During our consultations, she disclosed enduring physical and psychological domestic violence from her ex-partner, with whom she continued to reside. Recognising her vulnerability and urgent need to relocate, we promptly advised her about her rights under the Victims Services Support (VSS) Scheme.
We assisted Ling in applying for the Immediate Needs Support Package (INSP), successfully securing the maximum grant of $5,000 (including rent assistance and home security), which enabled her and the children to escape to safe and secure accommodation.
We continued providing family law advice on parenting and property matters, with a focus on preparing Ling to mediate without fear of retribution.
Ling expressed heartfelt gratitude, noting she was unaware of the support available through Victims Services.
