Domestic and Family Violence Support Service

For thousands of women, constant and pervasive domestic violence impacts every aspect of their lives. In our communities, within our workplaces, sometimes over our own back fences, there are women and children living each day in paralysing fear.

Domestic violence is a violation of human rights and an assault on an individual’s dignity. Its traces are both visible and invisible.

For women, domestic violence can be soul-destroying and life-ending. For children, it is terrifying and traumatizing. For communities it is destructive and invasive.

But despite all this, there is hope. Care is available.
