Here’s a snapshot of our work from the 2021-22 financial year:
5,286 victim survivors supported by our family violence support services.
This is almost double the number of clients we supported five years ago.
“My case manager has always tried her best to help me with many different support services and I cannot thank her enough for the love and support I have received. It has been great to have her by my side through this.”

8,224 support periods provided to victim survivors.
Sometimes we will support a victim-survivor more than once. This figure represents the number of periods of support we provided to the 5,286 victim survivors we supported this year.
“My case manager was non-judgemental and understanding. She let me speak when I needed to and really listened to me. Thank you for restoring my faith in workers and human nature in general.”

“I truly believe this training should be mandatory in Australian hairdressing apprenticeships. Some things are beyond our scope and skillset and we can proudly say we now know when to recognise that.”
