About the Agency Court Network is a unique, voluntary, non-legal, court support service operating throughout Victoria. Information, support and referral services are provided by approximately 300 trained volunteers supporting people accused of crime, families who have become secondary victims of crime, adults and children who have been violated or exploited by crime, and litigants who have little or no support.

Outcomes for court users include:
• A safer court environment
• Access to support, information and referral before, during and after a court appearance
• Access to a well managed and highly trained team of volunteer Networkers
• Provision of written and verbal information on relevant and appropriate community and legal services
• Emotional and practical support
• Assistance with arranging interpreters and disability access at the courts
• Pre-court tours for people to familiarise them with the courts
• Free access to services and a telephone helpline

Volunteers
Court Network provides extensive induction training to all volunteers who are known as “Networkers”. Ongoing professional development is provided through intensive one and two day workshops and seminars throughout the year, utilising industry experts as guest speakers. Volunteers are supervised and coordinated by a team of professional staff.

With the assistance of this skilled and dedicated workforce, Court Network provides assistance to approximately 60,000 people each year, either in court of via the telephone helpline.

The volunteers contribute at all levels of the agency’s operations. They play an important role on the Board and are actively involved in the decision-making processes of the service.

The Court Network's address is Ground Floor, 565 Lonsdale St. Melbourne Vic 3000.
