Safe and Equal is the peak body for Victorian organisations that specialise in family and gender-based violence. We work with and for our members to prevent and respond to violence, building a better future where adults, children and young people are free from family and gender-based violence. 

➕ 

We aren’t a direct service organisation, so we can’t provide support to people experiencing family violence.  

If you are in immediate danger, please contact the police on triple zero (000). For family violence counselling, support and referrals in Australia, please contact 1800RESPECT on 1800 737 732.  

There are specialist family violence services available across Victoria to help people experiencing family violence and their family and friends. Please visit areyousafeathome.org.au for more support providers.  

➕ 

Safe and Equal is based on Wurundjeri Country. We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the traditional and ongoing custodians of the lands on which we live and work, and we pay respects to Elders past and present. We acknowledge that sovereignty has never been ceded and recognise First Nations peoples’ rights to self-determination and continuing connections to land, waters and community.   

➕ 

We recognise, welcome and respect people of all genders, sexes and sexualities. Safe and Equal is committed to improving access and inclusion for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex and asexual people. We are a Rainbow Tick accredited organisation. We are committed to ongoing improvement in being a safe and inclusive service within LGBTIQA+ communities.
