What is domestic violence in CALD communities
What is domestic violence in CALD communities
- Isolation issues in victims who have no family or support

- Abuse can be shrouded in layers of complexity

Prevention & Intervention
Prevention & Intervention
ICSA is dedicated to preventing violence against women and children as the leading cause of Domestic and Family Violence.
Our strategy is to incorporate and integrate primary prevention into our services to promote understanding and awareness of the drivers of abuse and how to challenge them. This also serves as a confidential, non confrontational soft entry for disclosure and referral.
Some of our group activities and community connections (insert link) are specifically towards primary prevention. for more information see…. community connections (insert link) for groups such as:
- Chat n Chai
- Chess n Chai
- Safety planning
- Prevention Pathways

Vulnerable people in CALD communities
We assist vulnerable people from South Asian backgrounds across a range of issues, from abuse and exploitation to advocacy for their rights.
People experiencing issues can be temporary resident migrants (TRMs), seniors, people with disability, people presenting as LGBTQI, all who come from CALD backgrounds.
We work with vulnerable persons across deception, trafficking, fraud, exploitation and coercive control. These situations can be very complex and difficult particularly if the client has been coerced into some illegal activity or threatened to be exposed.
We assist in navigating these issue with the aim of finding the best possible outcome without compromising their families or residency.
