Everyone has the right to feel safe at home. Whether you are thinking of leaving, have already left or are unsure of what you want to do, we can help.

We provide support, information and options to help people and their children live a life free from violence. Clients can come into our office in Nowra, at home (if it is safe to do so) or meet somewhere else in the community.

  • Individualised case management
  • Safety planning
  • Information and education on family and domestic violence

  • Advocacy and assistance with navigating and collaborating with other services
