Outreach Report
BGCLS provided outreach services to Magistrates Courts in Ararat, Stawell and Horsham for Family Violence matters, as well as the Langi Kal Kal and Hopkins Prisons.
Covid resulted in us having to adapt our services but we were able respond quickly so that our service provisions were not interrupted. We are now providing all of our outreach services remotely, meaning a lot less time travelling for staff.
Overall we have developed our relationships with service providers in the Courts and Prisons to ensure that we all work together to get the best outcomes for clients.
We also saw the conclusion of our Health Justice Partnership with Grampians Community Health. The program was very successful in engaging with members of the Grampians and Wimmera communities.
While our physical presence in the region has ended, we are still able to provide services to clients remotely and are actively working towards developing new programs to assist clients in other ways in the future.
We provided 97 services to clients in the prisons and 142 services to clients in the outreach courts this year.
