Where safe spaces meet safe people

We are currently in the exciting phase of establishing and expanding our network of safe locations across the community. Our dedicated team is working diligently to identify, verify, and onboard partner locations that meet our rigorous safety standards and align with our mission of creating accessible havens for those in need.

We understand the importance of transparency and will be updating this page regularly with comprehensive information about our growing network of safe spaces.

We deeply appreciate the patience and continued support of our valued sponsors, partners, and donors as we build this vital community resource. Your trust and partnership enable us to create meaningful change, and we look forward to sharing our progress with you very soon.

A network of safe spaces,
a foundation of safe support

TAKE THE FIRST STEP.
WE WILL HELP WITH THE REST.

Domestic violence affects people of all backgrounds, ages, genders and identities across Victoria. Safe Together Network supports anyone experiencing abuse in their relationships, including: 

 

People facing physical, emotional, financial, or coercive control 
Those who may not recognize their experience as “domestic violence” 

 

People facing additional barriers to support due to cultural background, language, disability, or geographic isolation 
Anyone concerned about a loved one experiencing domestic violence

 

We recognise that women and children are disproportionately affected by domestic violence, with the most recent data showing 70% of family violence victims in Victoria are women and children.

What is a safe space?

A Safe Together location is an everyday space—like a pharmacy, library, community center, or business—where staff have been trained to provide immediate support to someone experiencing domestic violence.
