The Sexual Assault & Family Violence Centre (The SAFV Centre) was established in 1978 and has grown to become one of Victoria’s largest specialist sexual assault and family violence providers.

Supporting the community across Barwon, West Melbourne and Wimmera, we offer a specialist range of support services to all people impacted by sexual assault and women and children impacted by family violence, encompassing crisis care, case management, therapeutic counselling, early intervention programs, professional training and primary prevention initiatives. 

Our unique combination of services allows us to respond to those that need us, supporting them throughout their journey to recovery, while also educating and working with our communities to prevent violence from happening in the first place. 

We are a collaborative organisation where work is rewarding and team spirit permeates strong culture, values and a client-first focus. A role at The SAFV Centre is an opportunity to grow, flexibility to enjoy your personal commitments, and a connection to purpose that makes a difference to our community. 

Our clients are at the centre of all we do and we pride ourselves on retaining our highly skilled staff to provide the best service.
