Deloitte, along with EY, PWC, KPMG and Protiviti, are working closely with the Domestic Violence Crisis Service and the Women’s Centre for Health Matters to facilitate forums with key industry players on issues such as housing, legal system, finance, insurance, child care and pets. 

Deloitte is hosting the next workshop on accessing the legal system and as a key stakeholder and influencer of change; we would be delighted if you were able to attend. 

The interactive workshop will explore the following key issues:

• Identifying the barriers to legal support
• Raising awareness of domestic violence issues

Morning tea will be provided. Please RSVP by 24 May to CanberraMCBD@deloitte.com.au with any dietary requirements.

Background papers regarding the key legal issues facing Canberra women, as well as the summary from the last workshop are available for download below and attendees are encouraged to read these.
