Who we work with

We support clients through referrals from

  • Service providers
  • Front line staff
  • The Police and support services
  • Community groups
  • Former clients
  • Social media or via word of mouth.

Clients are generally referred to us after being involved with one or many agencies, who have not managed to find a suitable outcome for the client. This additional time spent in navigating the system routinely adds to the complexity of the client’s case and circumstances.

image for who we work with

We accept clients who have already engaged with multiple agencies and are already overwhelmed, and in many cases, traumatised and despairing of the support systems.

Our range of services is wide. We have assisted clients in areas of DFV, family conflicts, mental health support, language support overcoming language barriers and migration issues. We have also assisted in unique cases such as locating a missing person, student issues, court advocacy, supporting families when a member is incarcerated and assisting with funeral arrangements.

Every client is unique and we offer comprehensive support to assist them in achieving the best possible outcome.
