Family and domestic violence

Services

The Salvation Army operates family and domestic violence services in almost all states and territories in Australia. Our range of specialist services include outreach, crisis interventions, brokerage, emergency accommodation, transitional housing, and other housing support. The Salvation Army also provides family violence prevention programs to over 2000 men nationally.

We work to ensure that when a victim survivor seeks help, they receive the help they need — including having somewhere to go. This means ensuring there is sufficient funding for support, allowing victim survivors to be physically safe while continuing employment, encouraging them to pursue education, and helping them build and maintain connections.

Family and domestic violence is preventable. Prevention, early intervention and community education remain the most effective ways to address the underlying problem of family and domestic violence.

We must continue to educate the community to recognise and call out violence and controlling behaviours as unacceptable.

One of the major justice, health and welfare issues in Australia, and it can have lifelong impacts for victim survivors, their families and for whole communities.
