Victorian Family Law Pathways Network

The Victorian Family Law Pathways Network (VFLPN) provides networking opportunities, professional development, and information for professionals working in the family law system.

The Network is an initiative of the Australian Government Attorney-General’s Department. There are over 30 networks across Australia. In Victoria, there are six: Ballarat, Barwon-South West, Gippsland, Greater Melbourne, Shepparton-Bendigo and Albury-Wodonga – known collectively as the Victorian Family Law Pathways Network (VFLPN).

Each network is made up of a group of multi-disciplinary professionals aiming to improve collaboration between organisations and individuals operating in the family law system.

Improved coordination of services for separating families

Separating and separated families often seek non-legal advice and support.

Building stronger relationships and networks between professionals helps form a responsive and informed service for families trying to navigate the family law system.

The Family Law system depends on cooperation between entities including the Family Law Courts, government agencies and departments, the legal profession, the research sector and community service providers such as police, drug and alcohol, mental health, family violence and Indigenous services.
