New free national training gives every lawyer the tools to recognise coercive control 

Drawing on decades of frontline experience, Understanding Coercive Control training will give you the skills to identify and respond safely when a client is experiencing coercive control, across all practice areas.  

This self-paced online training has been co-developed by Women’s Legal Service Victoria and First Nations Advocates Against Family Violence as part of a consortium partnership with Women’s Legal Service Australia and National Legal Aid.    

Two courses are now available: 

· Foundational course — for all lawyers, in every practice area, and in every jurisdiction 

· Family law-specific course — for practitioners working in family law 

Free, self-paced and CPD-claimable in all states and territories.

Australian lawyers are warmly invited to take part in Mental Fitness in the Law, a free resilience training and research program developed by Macquarie University.

The training component focuses on strengthening the mental resources needed to manage the demands of legal practice through structured self-reflective writing. This process helps translate stressful work experiences into practical coping insights.

The six-week program involves:

  • an initial workshop to introduce the three resilient capacities that underpin mental fitness
  • a mental fitness manual grounded in resilience theory for ongoing reference
  • five short, structured self-reflection writing sessions to actively build your mental fitness
  • two individual check-in sessions to personalise your learning
  • a final debrief workshop to consolidate your learning
  • research activities (including surveys and qualitative analysis of reflections) in contribution towards the research objective of strengthening resilience in lawyers.

Participation is time-efficient, delivered online, contributes to CPD requirements, and is offered at no cost in recognition of participants’ involvement in the research component. Learn more and register here: https://mqedu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cTlaDcbs1uJ6A7Q
