Court Network

Court Network is a free volunteer service that supports everyone who comes to the Bendigo Law Courts. This includes victims, accused, witnesses, family and friends – as well as people working in the building.

Court Network services are provided by trained community volunteers known as Networkers. Networkers provide non-legal information, referral and support before, during and after your hearing.

Court Network does not:

provide legal services or advice
allow a Court Networker to support both parties in a legal matter
perform the role of childcare.

For free telephone support call 1800 571 239.

You can also request help online or refer others who may need support. Visit the Court Network online referral service.(Opens in a new tab/window)
