Domestic & Family Violence (DFV) Support & Facilitation

We provide specialised support across disability, wellbeing, and complex circumstances — including  domestic and family violence (DFV).  This work recognises the overlap between disability, trauma, and system navigation, with a focus on supporting individuals to increase safety, stability, and long-term outcomes.

This service recognises that people with disability experience violence at a higher rate, yet remain under-represented in DFV services, and aims to reduce barriers to engagement and safety.

We can assist with:

• Increasing understanding of the intersection of disability and DFV, including identifying and responding to risk
• Supporting individuals to recognise DFV, disclose safely, and access appropriate pathways
• Facilitating connections across DFV, disability, health, legal, and community services
• Strengthening referral pathways and supporting responses that are accessible, inclusive, and responsive to individual needs

Social & Community Participation

We provide support to build meaningful community connections, explore opportunities, and engage in activities aligned to each individual’s goals and interests.

This includes accessing and trialling different services, activities, and pathways to support confidence, independence, and participation in everyday life.

We can assist with:

• Active participation in sporting and recreational activities that are meaningful to the individual
• Social activities that reduce barriers and isolation
• Maintaining family and social relationships
• Personalised support to explore and access meaningful employment opportunities
