Support Services for Family & Domestic Violence

You don’t have to navigate it alone

Indigo Junction provides free support to people experiencing or affected by family and domestic violence. Our services include advocacy, counselling, coordinated responses and community education.

Support is available for young people and adults and can be tailored to your circumstances and needs.

Domestic Violence Advocacy Service (DVAS)

Our Domestic Violence Advocacy Service (DVAS) provides free advocacy, counselling and practical support for people experiencing family and domestic violence.

We can help you understand your options and rights, develop a safety plan, advocate with services on your behalf, connect with appropriate support services, prepare for appointments and engage with police or legal services and access support with Violence Restraining Orders where appropriate

Our counselling service is free of charge, with up to 15 sessions available, delivered in a neutral and secure space. Sessions are paced around your comfort level; there is no pressure to share more than you’re ready to.

Our Youth DVAS supports young people aged 12–25, while our Adult DVAS supports adults aged 26+.

Coordinated Response Service (CRS)

The Coordinated Response Service (CRS) provides an early intervention response for families experiencing high-risk family and domestic violence.

Support may include short-term case management, advocacy, guidance, and connection to counselling and other services.

We work alongside local services, WA Police and the Department of Communities to coordinate responses, maximise the safety of women and children, and support accountability for people using violence.

The service follows up on more than 3,000 reported family violence incidents each year.

Community Education Program

Indigo Junction provides community education to build awareness and understanding of family and domestic violence.

Our education and awareness activities cover recognising family and domestic violence, its impacts and how to access support.
