About our Domestic and Family Violence Services

The St Vincent de Paul Society NSW provides a response to domestic and family violence across the homelessness and housing continuum, including a rapid and responsive Domestic Violence Response Enhancement service, crisis and medium-term housing outcomes, and a sustaining tenancies model of support. The breadth of service provision and supporting infrastructure allows for a targeted and flexible response to women and children in an existing or emerging crisis state. Support provided is based on the individual's specific support needs. Support includes crisis intervention in temporary accommodation such as motels / crisis refuges, transitional housing, case management, and brokerage support. Crisis accommodation and support is available throughout NSW.
