Violence against women is a significant human rights issue in Victoria. All women have a right to safety in homes, schools, at work and on the streets.
During the month of May, Women Assist Counselling will be actively involved in raising community awareness of domestic and family violence. Support is available to those affected. Our Counsellor & Psychotherapist helps many women with life after abusive relationships.
If you are in immediate danger please call Emergency Services on 000
During the month of May our aim is to:
