ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The JNC acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands on which we work, the Gadigal and Bidjigal People of the Eora Nation. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging and acknowledge that these lands always were and always will be Aboriginal lands. We celebrate First Nations Peoples’ connection to the land and recognise the importance of Indigenous voices and culture. We would like to advise that there may be images or videos on this website of people who have since passed.

Domestic and Family Violence Services

If you have experienced domestic or family violence and are in need of some specialised services, JNC has a team of highly skilled and experienced Domestic Violence case workers. We support women and their families who are experiencing domestic violence and related issues such as housing and family court.

Our Staying Home Leaving Violence Service can assist women and their families from the Waverley, Randwick, Woollahra and Bayside LGAs to live safely in their own home or a home of their choice. We also provide case management services.

 

Staying Home Leaving Violence (SHLV)

WHAT WE ARE

The Eastern Suburbs SLHV program aims to prevent women and their children who have been affected by domestic and family violence having to move away from the support of their family and friends, and the school and community where they live, or experience homelessness. The program also aims to reduce the risk of homelessness, while increasing safety and support.

  • Home security audits and coordination of safety upgrades to enable
    a woman and her children to stay safely at home

  • Advocacy with other services
  • Case Management.

WHO WE WORK WITH

Our specialist Caseworkers assist women and their children who have left a domestic or family violence situation, providing support to remain safely in their own homes or a home of their choice, at a time that can be stressful and overwhelming.
