About Us
The Newcastle Domestic Violence Committee brings together DFV specialist services, community organisations, government agencies, businesses and community members to work collaboratively toward preventing domestic and family violence and supporting those affected by it.
Through partnership and shared action, we build sector capacity, advocate for meaningful systemic change, provide community education, and improve responses for victim-survivors in our region.
We are proud to bring together allies and agencies from a broad range of backgrounds, including multicultural, Aboriginal, Disabled and LGBTIQA+ professionals and community members.

Develop collaborative partnerships on DFV initiatives.
Advocate to Local Council, State and Federal Governments, the Media and broader community on DFV or VAW matters of common interest.
