The Role

We provide and partner to deliver a range of protection and recovery services addressing both adult family violence and adolescent family violence, with a primary focus on the safety of women and children. Whenever issues of violence or abuse arise in families, the first step is to ensure that every family member is safe and protected from harm. Once that is achieved, counsellors and support workers can educate and equip families with new skills to help them move forward in a positive way. Family Violence services include office based, outreach, in-home, tailored, group work and a holistic approach for the whole family that aims to achieve better outcomes for families, in promoting the best interests of children. Individual and family work is complemented by group work where appropriate, and strategies to both engage families with their communities, as well as for communities to be more responsive to the needs of children and their families.
