New legal service in Geelong

Thursday, April 24, 2008

Victims of family violence in Geelong in Victoria now have a dedicated service providing legal assistance.

The Attorney General, Mr Rob Hull, has indicated that a new Family Violence Bill will be introduced later in the year, to provide victims of family violence with greater protection and to make perpetrators more accountable for their actions.
