Last week the Victoria Law Foundation organised an Information Sharing Exchange in which we attended alonsgide Victoria Legal Aid Victorian Ombudsman, the Australian Electoral Commission and other service providers from across our region to share insights, strengthen relationships, and discuss the challenges facing the people we support.

These discussions reinforced the importance of collaboration and information sharing in helping our clients navigate complex issues.
Time and again, we see that legal problems are often intertwined with non-legal challenges such as housing, financial hardship, health concerns, and recovery from trauma.

By working together, our organisations can better understand these connections and provide coordinated, holistic, and trauma-informed support that responds to the full range of a person's circumstances.

We value the opportunity to connect with our community partners and learn from one another as we continue working towards improved access to justice and better outcomes for the people and communities we serve.

Last week, HRCLS attended a community roundtable hosted by the Victorian Ombudsman, Energy and Water Ombudsman (Victoria) (EWOV) and the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman in Wangaratta

The session brought together community organisations to learn more about the services they provide, discuss the challenges faced by people in rural communities, and explore referral pathways that can help community members access support when issues arise with government agencies, utility providers and telecommunications services.

The roundtable provided a valuable opportunity to share local insights and strengthen connections between services. We appreciated the chance to learn more about the escalation and dispute resolution options available to our clients, helping ensure we can connect people with the right support when matters cannot be resolved directly.

Thank you to the Victorian Ombudsman, EWOV and TIO for facilitating this important discussion and creating a space for collaboration between community organisations.
