• Family members who are impacted by a man’s use of violent and abusive behaviours

Professionals working with men who use violence

What they do: The trained telephone counsellors will not criticise or judge you. They can have a conversation with you, help with short-term strategies, and give you the details of two local men’s behaviour change groups that can help with your situation.

Who runs it: It’s operated by No to Violence, Australia’s peak body for organizations working with men to end family violence.

The service is confidential, free, and available in other languages through an interpreter service.
