We are an accredited Domestic Violence provider, and are absolutely committed to the objective of the 1995 DV Act, of "Stopping or preventing domestic violence on the part of those offenders who use 'violent and controlling behaviors' that violate the right of another person to safety, autonomy and well being" and that, "the safety of women and children is paramount.”
