DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SERVICES

All our programs operate in a safe, supportive and child-safe environment in shared and standalone properties where race, culture and other differences are respected and valued.

Our specialist staff work with women to identify the cycle of violence, provide a safe space to share their experiences, support them to strengthen their resilience and assist with linking them to appropriate networks within the community.

In line with Toora’s Practice Framework, we use strengths‐based, person-centred case management that is underpinned by trauma informed care.

As part of our Outreach Program, we support women with advocacy, safety planning, assistance to obtain independent accommodation or to sustain a tenancy, as well as enhancing women’s opportunities for social participation while living in their own home.

All clients are supported by their own case worker from intake and assessment throughout their individual journey. Toora staff ensure they receive a full wrap around service of supports they need to achieve their goals.

Our domestic and family violence service has a Child and Family Specialist who works very closely with the family to design a holistic case plan that will support children’s wellbeing by supporting their parent/carer’s well being.
