Value proposition

Safe Steps is Victoria's 24/7 Family Violence Response Centre.

Safe Steps is the only 24/7 family violence response centre in Victoria, providing a state-wide entry point for victim-survivors of domestic and family violence.

Our services include:
• Information and referral
• Crisis response
• Specialist family violence risk assessment
• Safety planning
• Access to supported accommodation

We also provide specialist trauma counselling on behalf of the national sexual assault, domestic and family violence counselling service, 1800 RESPECT.

We provide services to all victim-survivors and recognise that most of our work is dedicated to the needs of women and children, which reflects the gendered nature of domestic and family violence.
