Support4Change
Support4Change serves as an important first step in helping you reflect on your behaviour, understand its impact on others, and begin your journey toward lasting, positive change.
About This Program
The Support4Change Program is for people who have been mandated by the Magistrates’ Court of Victoria (MCV) to complete a Counselling Order.
The program can include a mix of group sessions and individual counselling, tailored to your situation, and offers a safe space to connect with others who are also working on change.
By participating in this mandated program, you will gain insight into your behaviour, learn valuable skills, and work toward becoming a better partner, parent, and role model.
Please note, this program is referred by the Magistrate’s Court of Victoria, and you cannot self-refer to this program.
How We Help
We provide a safe and supportive space to help you take the first steps toward improving your relationships, becoming a better role model, and to create a positive future.
We encourage self-reflection and help you consider how to make positive changes in your life.
Support4Change can also provide support to Affected Family Members who may consent and receive additional support.
Getting Started
As part of the program, you will have an assessment with Family Life. This date and time will have already been arranged for you by the Court. You will be contacted via SMS and/or email closer to the assessment date with further details of your assessment.
Please be prepared to be available for up to two hours for the assessment, where we will explore the events that led to your Counselling Order, your personal history/background, and safety planning. During the assessment our team will determine whether group sessions or individual support, is the best fit for you and provide you with additional details about the program.
If you have any questions or need further information, contact us on (03) 8599 5433.
