Family and domestic violence

What we do

The Salvation Army is committed to working toward the elimination of family and domestic violence. To achieve this goal, we deliver a wide range of specialist services and initiatives across the country aimed at the prevention of, response to, and healing from the effects of family and domestic violence, modern slavery, and forced marriage. These services include:

• Refuge and crisis accommodation
• Transitional accommodation and support
• Specialist family and domestic violence case management and outreach
• Specialist children and parenting services
• Specialist family and domestic violence counselling
• Men’s behaviour change programs, case management and post participation programs
• Exit pathways from refuge and crisis accommodation
• Family and domestic violence intake and assessment services
• Chaplaincy

As an organisation with national reach, we collaborate with a range of other specialist prevention, response and recovery services and organisations across the country to work toward our shared goal.

At The Salvation Army we recognise that family and domestic violence impacts people across all social and cultural contexts, gender identities and expressions, and within various relationship types. We are committed to providing safe, welcoming, and fully inclusive programs to people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds.
