The NSW Domestic Violence website can provide you with a wide range of information about domestic violence if you are at risk or are concerned about another person.

If you are in or are planning to leave a violent relationship, it is important to make a safety plan first.

If you need to access a safer computer, consider using one at work, at school, at a library, or at a Service NSW service centre.

Council’s Domestic and Family Violence Action Plan 2023-2026 details the actions Council will take to promote healthy and safe environments, reduce the risk of incidents and connect people with appropriate support services.

While ending domestic and family violence is everyone’s responsibility, Council is adopting strategies that are meaningful to the local community, demonstrating leadership and a shared commitment to the preventing it.

Our connections with individuals, families, community organisations and groups, sporting and recreation clubs, and cultural and religious groups means Council is well placed to address and promote safe and respectful relationships in the community.

The 'Domestic Violence: The basics for community workers' manual is a quick access guide for workers new to the area of domestic violence.
