Some good news for our sector: the NSW Government has announced $184.1 million over four years to help stabilise domestic and family violence services across the state.
It’s welcome relief for services that have been under enormous pressure — including ours. Domestic Violence NSW, who represent nearly 200 specialist services, have called it an important first step, with more work still to do to make funding sustainable long-term.
We’re grateful for the recognition, and we’ll keep advocating for the ongoing investment our community needs.

Did you know coercive control is now a criminal offence in NSW?
The state’s ‘It’s not love, it’s coercive control’ campaign is reaching even more people this year — because understanding the signs early can make a real difference.
Coercive control can be quiet and hard to spot: constant check-ins, controlling money, cutting someone off from friends and family, or making someone feel like they can’t make their own decisions.
If this sounds familiar for you or someone you care about, please reach out. Our team is here to help, without judgement.

Today, 9 August, is the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples. This year’s theme honours Indigenous midwives and the vital role they play in safeguarding life, culture and wellbeing.
At JSC, we’re proud to support First Nations women and families across Sydney in culturally safe, community-led care.
We pay our respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples; past, present and emerging.

Homelessness Week runs from 3–9 August this year, and the theme is Homelessness Action Now.
Something we see often at JSC: for women and children escaping domestic and family violence, finding safe housing is one of the hardest parts of leaving. No one should have to choose between staying somewhere unsafe or having nowhere to go.
Our team works alongside women every step of the way, connecting them to housing support, safety planning and legal advocacy, so leaving doesn’t mean starting from nothing.
If you or someone you know needs support, we’re here.

Every year on 30 July, the world turns its attention to human trafficking — but for services like ours, this is year-round work.
Trafficking and domestic and family violence are deeply connected. Coercive control, financial abuse, isolation — these aren't just features of one crime. They're the tools used across many.
At Justice Support Centre, we work with some of the most vulnerable women and children in our community — many whose experiences cross multiple forms of exploitation and harm. Integrated legal and casework support isn't a luxury. It's what makes a real difference.
Today, we stand with survivor-advocates, frontline workers and community organisations working to end exploitation in all its forms.

📢 Important safety information — please read and share.

On Monday 27 July at 2pm, every compatible mobile phone in Australia will receive a loud test alert. This is a test of AusAlert, the new national emergency warning system launching in October.

The alert will make a loud siren sound and vibrate — even if the phone is on silent or do not disturb, and even if it has no SIM card.

⚠️ If you have a hidden phone or safety device, this alert could reveal it.

To stay safe:
✔️ Turn your safety device OFF (or switch it to aeroplane mode) before 2pm on Monday 27 July
✔️ Leave it off for at least one hour
✔️ Remember — children's smart watches, tablets and old phones without SIM cards will also get the alert. Turn these off too.

You are not alone. If you're worried about your safety, call 1800RESPECT on 1800 737 732 (24/7, free and confidential). In an emergency, always call 000.

More information, including safety guides in 20 languages: ausalert.gov.au

Please check in with family, friends and neighbours before 27 July — sharing this post could help keep someone safe. 💜

Financial abuse isn't always 'taking the wallet'. It looks like:

- Being made to justify every grocery receipt.
- Loans and credit cards taken out in your name without your knowledge.
- Wages going into a partner's account, with an 'allowance' returned.
- Being stopped from working, studying or getting your driver's licence.

It's one of the most common forms of domestic abuse - and one of the hardest to walk away from, because leaving costs money. That's where services like ours come in: emergency brokerage, free legal advice and a plan tailored to the situation.

If this is your situation, or someone you love: you don't have to figure it out alone.

Yesterday our team joined the community at Edwin Wheeler Reserve, Sadleir for Liverpool City Council's NAIDOC Week celebration, marking 50 Years of Deadly.

The rain may have dampened the ground, but it couldn't dampen the spirit. It was wonderful to see the event so well supported, with live entertainment, crafting workshops, food stalls and plenty of community connection despite the weather. NAIDOC Week celebrations like this remind us why: culture, strength and community shine through, rain, hail or shine.

Thank you to Liverpool City Council and all the organisers, performers and stallholders who made the day one to remember. Here's to 50 Years of Deadly, and the next 50.
