📍 Where you live can make a big difference when you need help with domestic and family violence.

For women in rural, regional and remote communities, support can be a long way from home.

👉️ There may be no local specialist service. Getting to an in-person appointment can mean hours of travel. Finding somewhere safe to live can be difficult. Childcare and transport can be limited. Phone and internet services might be patchy. And in a small community, privacy can be hard to find.

NRWC is advocating for more targeted services for women and children experiencing violence in rural, regional and remote Australia.
