Options for those experiencing Family Violence during lockdown

Practice Area: Family Law

Published: 18 August 2020

Last Reviewed: 08 June 2023

New programs by the state government will see up to 1,500 perpetrators of family violence moved out of family homes to keep potential victims safe.

There is, however, a decrease in calls during the lockdown and then surging when restrictions were relaxed. If you are experiencing family violence, and it is safe to do so, please call us to discuss how we may be able to assist you.

If you are in immediate danger please call 000 for the police.
