Mission Australia
Court Support Worker
Counselling experience required
Every day across the greater Sydney area many victims of crime are attending court without the information and support they are entitled to under the NSW Charter of Victims Rights.
Going to court can be a confusing and stressful experience - some may even find it frightening. For some victims, being at court may mean facing someone who has hurt or abused them. Giving evidence can sometimes mean reliving a traumatic experience. Mission Australia Court Support Service aims to help minimise the potential negative effects for victims attending court. If you are interested in supporting victims of crime, have good communication skills and some counselling experience you can apply to be a volunteer court support worker.
If you would like to volunteer as a Court Support Worker, you will need to have a minimum qualification of basic counselling skills from an accredited provider.
Mission Australia Court Support Service provides intensive and ongoing training as well as supervision and volunteers will be part of a dynamic, professional team supporting victims through the court process.
