SSRV’s Community Legal Education sessions (CLEs) are popular with workers supporting clients experiencing social security issues. Professional development in this area is important because social security is a complex area of law and one that is ever-changing. Centrelink problems often intersect with other issues that people are facing such as family law, family violence, debt, homelessness, health, disability and disasters.
SSRV’s CLEs are free, online, and explain in plain English social security law and how it might impact your clients. We tell you what to look out for, how to address issues when they arise, and about how Social Security Rights Victoria (SSRV) can assist.
Our CLEs cover a range of common social security issues, including eligibility criteria, what to if you disagree with a Centrelink Decision, and how to challenge a Centrelink Debt. In the coming months, SSRV will be hosting webinars on Centrelink debts, family violence, and when you are a member of a couple for Centrelink purposes.
