Court Support Coordinators

The Court Support Coordinators (CSC) assist and support court users to navigate the court process. They do this by providing procedural information and practical assistance through a trauma-informed and strength-based practice. 

The CSC is a therapeutic role and can provide referrals to external services, targeted practical support, and information to all court users. CSCs provide:

• Support and non-legal advocacy to self-represented people
• referrals to community support services, including drug and alcohol, disability, housing, youth support, and family violence.
• information about court processes and procedures
• assistance to join online hearings, and support during hearings.
• safe response to family violence issues and risks.
• culturally safe and sensitive practice.

Referrals to CSC can be received from other support services, court users, registry staff, judicial officers and lawyers. CSC have a centralised intake email address for referrals: csc.childrens@courts.vic.gov.au.
