Building a safer tomorrow
Our BDVS provides an integrated and coordinated response to DFV in the Bankstown area and aims to improve outcomes for adults and children. The service provides case management and DFV specialist services. We provide support to both victims living through the violence and the victims who have escaped the perpetrator.
Our services are free to clients as the BDVS is predominately funded by the NSW State Government in partnership with the Department of Communities and Justice.
We can support people with:
- Identifying their needs and goals
- Talking with them about a safety plan
- Emotional support and a space to be heard and respected
- Support through the court processes for family law matters, criminal matters and DV matters
- Referring their partner to an appropriate support service
- Information and referrals to services they need such as counselling,
support groups, (VSS).
