Women's Helpline - 1800 007 339 / 9223 1188 - This service offers counselling, crisis response and referrals to the Centrecare service below.
Centrecare provides counselling, support and group programs for women who are experiencing the effects of abuse. Services are also available for partners and children. Abuse in a relationship, also called family and domestic violence, refers to any action, verbal and/or non-verbal, that instills fear in the other person and can be displayed physically, emotionally, verbally, sexually, financially, spiritually and culturally.
Experiencing the effects of domestic violence and/or abuse may leave you feeling depressed, unhappy, guilty, alone or even wondering if you are going crazy. You may believe that you are part of the problem or think ‘that’s just how life is’ even though you don’t like what is happening to you and know you don’t deserve to be abused. If you would like to talk to a qualified counsellor about your experience in a safe, non-judgemental space, Centrecare can provide this.
