We provide help to:

- Anyone who is experiencing or using #DomesticViolence in their relationships.

We provide DV Help through Womensline and Mensline. #CrisisCounsellors offer help by arranging emergency transport and accommodation, as well as crisis counselling and intervention.

On average, we receive a call for help every 7 minutes and every 3 minutes during our busiest times.

We offer help for pets with our Pets In Crisis program operated by the RSPCA QLD.

QUEENSLAND SEXUAL ASSAULT HELP

We offer Sexual Assault Help through the QLD Sexual Assault Helpline 1800 010 120. This helpline is for anyone who has, or thinks they may have experienced sexual assault. Counsellors will listen, believe and support you. They will also explain your options.

WORKPLACE DV TRAINING

We provide #WorkplaceTraining on how the community can do their part to #EndDV and sexual violence. We also teach how to engage with employees who are impacted by violence. We also offer specialist DV policy writing.

BELLA'S SANCTUARY

Bella’s Sanctuary is a 5 unit, purpose-built save haven for women and children to reside in for up to 12 months, after they have left a shelter, to give them time to rebuild their lives. It was 100% funded by the corporate community who wanted to do their part to change the future of those who have escaped DV.

The residence was created because of a lack of affordable housing, as well as a void of medium-term accommodation for survivors to live in after leaving a shelter. This gap was reinforcing the belief in survivors that there are only two housing options for those leaving a shelter and they are either returning to the abuser or homelessness.
