The refuges operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Early Intervention Program for Young People
Our specialist family violence program for young people aged 16 to 24 years provides outreach case management support to young people at the risk of or experiencing family and domestic violence. The program also offers workshops and capacity building for professionals who support young people to increase their knowledge of family and domestic violence and early intervention for at-risk youth.
