Family domestic violence support

Stirling Womens Centre provide safe, short term crisis accommodation for women and children experiencing family and domestic violence. Our service offers immediate safety, emotional support and practical assistance during difficult and uncertain times.

We offer short-term, communal accommodation for up to 8 weeks, providing a supportive environment where residents can recover and plan their next steps. Throughout their stay, our team will walk alongside - listening to your priorities, respecting your choices and supporting you to regain safety and stability.

The Safe at Home and Mobile Outreach programs are designed to support women and children who have experienced family and domestic violence to remain safely in their own homes where appropriate and safe to do so. Eligibility is determined by the client’s residence within the North-East Metro catchment area and an individualised risk and safety assessment.

Support is tailored to each woman’s unique safety needs, personal goals and circumstances. We work alongside clients to develop safety plans, strengthen wellbeing and assist with rebuilding a sense of control and independence.

The program offers a flexible model of support needs, including:

• Individual case management: Ongoing support to address safety concerns, wellbeing and practical day to day needs. Case managers work closely with each client to identify priorities and appropriate services
• Advocacy: with external agencies, services or professionals on your behalf. This may include housing providers, police, legal representatives or community organisations
• Service referrals: Connection to a wide network of supports including counselling, legal services, financial assistance, health services, parenting support and more based on your needs and goals
• Risk and safety assessments: Comprehensive assessments and safety audits to identify risks, plan for safety and support informed decision making. We work with you to develop personalised safety strategies that reflect your circumstances
• Home safety support: Assistance with minor security upgrades—such as locks, window screens or other small improvements along with practical safety advice to help you feel more secure in your home
• Court support: Guidance and practical support for Family Violence Restraining Orders (FVROs) and related legal processes. We can help you understand your options, prepare for court and access relevant services.

Please note: Security assessments and improvements are provided as part of a broader case management plan and are not available as a standalone service.

Stirling Women’s Centre is not a walk-in service.

Access to crisis accommodation is through self referral or Crisis Care to ensure safety, confidentiality and appropriate support at all times. Please contact the team directly for assistance or information.
