Acknowledgement of country

We acknowledge that we live, work and deliver services, primarily on the lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong peoples of the Kulin nation.

We honour Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples as the First Peoples and acknowledge their ongoing connection to country, land, language, Lore, stories, sea, sky and waterways. We pay our respects to all First Nations Peoples, Ancestors as well as Elders past and present. We acknowledge that sovereignty has never been ceded.

We acknowledge that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and families continue to be disproportionately affected by family violence due to the ongoing impacts of colonisation.

Diversity and Inclusion

When people feel heard, valued, validated and understood, they can safely interact, engage and collaborate. We strive to provide safe, diverse, inclusive and accessible services and experiences for all. We recognise we have a leadership role to play in championing diversity, equity and inclusion.

We support all victim survivors of diverse abilities, ages, genders, bodies, sexualities, relationships, faiths, and cultures; committing to our vision of a community free from family violence, where everyone is safe.
