* The WSWFV partnership acknowledges Victorian Aboriginal people as the Traditional Owners of the land on which we provide our services. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present and recognise the ongoing living culture of all Aboriginal people

*We would like to pay tribute to the many survivors of family violence whose bravery, experience and stories inform service responses, initiatives and reform change. We also wish to acknowledge victim survivors of family violence, particularly women and children that have been killed in the context of family violence.  We acknowledge that family violence is a very prevalent issue in our community and that we can all do something to prevent it if we all work together.
