Community Connections (Ground Floor)
During the Wyndham Law Courts Open Day, meet some of the agencies and community groups that support the people using the Courts.
Wyndham City Council (WCC) – Community Connectors and Community Strengthening teams
Wyndham City’s Community Connector Service supports people to access services they need to stay living at home, active, and connected with their community. They are an access point for Wyndham residents to connect with personalised support to navigate formal and informal services, groups, and activities. Community Connectors can work with all residents and carers of residents living within the Wyndham municipality. Community Connectors will be present at the Wyndham Law Court open day to chat with visitors and provide information about the support available.

Court Network
Court Network is a free community support service provided by volunteers that enables people to better understand and navigate the courts. Our services are delivered by highly trained volunteers, known as Networkers, who stand beside and empower all court users to manage their day in court. They offer non-legal information, support and referrals to other community organisations that meet individual needs.
Court Network can offer comprehensive support to anyone navigating the court system in Victoria. You can pre-book our in-court support services via our website, over the phone, or you can look for Court Network volunteers in court wearing our iconic pink lanyards.
Court Network volunteers will provide a daily service to court users accessing the Wyndham Law Courts. Our volunteers will work closely with court staff and local service providers.
