We acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of Australia as the traditional owners of the lands we live and work on.

We pay our respects to Elders past and present who continue to hold and carry deep connections to Country, culture, community and story. Sovereignty has never ceded.

Supporting you is our priority

We will help you stay safe, whether you decide to stay in your relationship or leave.

We will work with you to make a safety plan and connect you with other support services in the ACT to meet your needs. We may suggest one of the DVCS programs, advocate on your behalf to services you are already connected with, or help you find a safe place to stay in an emergency.

Our crisis team is available on the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They can support you to find the best options for you and make informed decisions about your safety and well-being.

We know that everyone's situation is different. Whether this is your first time asking for help or you've spoken to us before, we're here to support you, no matter where you are in your journey.
