​​​​Domestic and family violence is not acceptable under any circumstance. It is a crime in Australia.

Domestic and family violence is any conduct that makes you fear for your or your family’s safety and wellbeing. There are different types of domestic and family violence. It may be directed at you, your family, pets or property. No matter what it looks like, you have the right to a safe environment in Australia.

We understand that seeking help can be difficult. If you are experiencing domestic and family violence, you are not alone. There is support available, regardless of your visa status.

You and your family do not have to remain in a relationship where you fear for your or your family’s safety to stay in Australia.​
