Domestic Violence After Hours Response

The Northern District (Sydney) DVRE team provides after hours crisis support to women (with or without children) who have left a violent relationship, or who are wanting to leave. Our after hours team is available 365 evenings a year and can assist with:

• Face-to-face visits from our after hours staff when it is safe for us to do so
• Assessments for our CatholicCare refuge and short-term transitional accommodation
• Warm referrals for emergency accommodation
• Practical items such as food, clothing, toiletries and baby items
• Access to interpreting and translating services
• Housing assistance and advocacy including referrals for CatholicCare case management
• Support attending the Police station to make a statement
• Access to specialist domestic violence services including counselling, groups and Victim’s Services
• Help with visas and immigration referrals
• Assistance with applying for payments
• Information and support to access Dom’s Place, our community drop in hub
• Support services for children … and more.

We help women (with or without children) leave domestic violence and build a strong support network and achieve safe and positive lives. Any organisation can refer women wanting to leave a domestic violence relationship to our service. We also welcome women to call us directly if they need help.
