This program provides FDV support to women in the Southern Corridor of Perth and works with women who are residing separately and who are currently living with perpetrators of violence and abuse.

Women are provided with the opportunity to be supported through brief intervention and/or case management support which includes 6-12 weeks of intensive and specialised support.

Whilst in the program, I have regained a sense of security for myself and my children. I am now able to feel protected again. I am grateful for all the help I have received.
