During the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen an increase in family violence in Victoria.
With public health restrictions in place and people staying at home more, it’s harder than ever for people experiencing abuse to seek help.
To help support people who may be experiencing family violence and concerned family and friends, we’re distributing two cards through community services and retail outlets in Victoria.
We’ve also launched the Are you safe at home? website – a valuable source of information on how to recognise the warning signs, act safely, provide support, and where to find help.
Developed in partnership with Family Safety Victoria, the wallet-sized cards are available in IGA supermarkets and other services across Victoria.
