Notes:	Article discusses a new project being developed by the Northern Rivers Community Legal Centre in Lismore, New South Wales. The project, funded for 12 months, was launched by Mabourah Dubay and the Lismore Domestic Violence Court Support Program, and its purpose is to develop an appropriate model upon which an Aboriginal Women’s Domestic Violence Court Assistance Scheme can be based. The project will look at ways to make it easier for Aboriginal women to apply for an Apprehended Violence Order (AVO), to increase women’s understanding of the process and the consequences of an AVO and to establish structures which ensure that Aboriginal women can bring an AVO process to completion. Strategies for fulfilling the education component of the project’s brief are also presented.
