In 2021 DV Vic and DVRCV united to form Safe and Equal, combining over thirty years of experience in advocacy and innovation for change in the family violence sector. Connecting strength, capacity, and resources for greater impact, Safe and Equal is the peak body for Victoria’s specialist family violence services supporting victim survivors.
Safe and Equal works with practitioners and leaders to bring grassroots issues into the public policy arena, coordinate and participate in advocacy and action to reform policy and improve the service system, and scale up and embed practice development and innovation across the sector.
There are specialist family violence services available across Victoria to help people experiencing family violence and their family and friends. Please visit www.areyousafeathome.org.au for more information about support providers.
