Domestic Violence

Everyone should feel safe in their own home. While people from a migrant background are less likely to report domestic violence, they often face more barriers in accessing appropriate support.

We work alongside individuals and service providers to help ensure support is provided at the right time, in the right place, and in the right way.

Funded through a philanthropic donation by D’Orsogna, our domestic violence counseling and support services are free for people to use.

Currently not taking new referrals.

Change the Story

Family domestic violence is the leading health risk factor for women under the age of 45.

Change the Story is a community-driven initiative to change attitudes toward violence and gender equality. We work with men and women from migrant and refugee backgrounds in the Cockburn area to help:

Build a better understanding of the issue in communities
Build community support for individuals and families impacted, and
Reduce barriers to accessing support

Funded through support by the caregivers at St. John of God Murdoch Hospital.

With help from Multicultural Futures, we now stand on our own feet and by paying tax hopefully, we can give the opportunity for another family to make change for a more peaceful and prosperous life.

We highly valued Multicultural Futures’ contribution to developing our first Cultural Diversity Strategy. They brought a wealth of cultural insight and strong community connections with newly settled Cockburn community members which ensured a rich diversity of views were captured.
