Welcome

We provide free legal assistance and non-legal support to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people experiencing or at risk of family and domestic violence.
Alongside this support, we deliver community education programs and workshops to build understanding of family and domestic violence, learn about healthy relationships, and positive behaviours.

Services

Our legal and social support services are holistic, trauma informed and culturally safe.
