About
The IDFVS program is an integrated and coordinated response program that promotes flexible, local place based and client-focussed services to address domestic and family violence among high-risk priority groups. The IDFVS program works with the female victim-survivors of DFV, including children and young people, and can also work with the person using violence, to the extent that this is compatible with the safety and wellbeing of victim-survivors and other family members. It works with those living through the abuse, and victim-survivors who have escaped the person using violence or control, as well as those who may be homeless.
