Other support services How PACT provides support

PACT provides support to individuals navigating the court process, and while we aim to assist wherever possible, there are some situations where PACT support cannot be offered.

We are unable to assist with:

  • Providing legal advice
  • Domestic and family violence hearings
  • Therapy or counselling

Even if we cannot support you in these specific circumstances, you are not alone. We have compiled a list of other support services, including their contact details and the types of assistance they offer.

We understand how overwhelming this process can feel, and we hope this page helps guide you toward the right support for your situation.
