Domestic and family violence support services

As isolating as experiencing domestic and family violence can feel, it's important to know that you are not alone.

Below, you'll find DFV support services that can help with things like safety planning, emergency accommodation, legal help, financial support, and counselling.

Remember, if you’re feeling overwhelmed or are in an emotional crisis, you can contact Lifeline 24 hours a day, 7 days a week via 13 11 14, text, and chat.



If you’re a man using abuse or violence in relationships and are here because you want to explore options for changing your behaviour, you can contact Men’s Referral Service (1300 766 491) 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It’s free, confidential, and a positive first step.
