A one stop hub to support victim-survivors of family and domestic violence has opened its dedicated premises in Broome.
The Broome Hub, named Bibimbiya Jan-ga Buru (women and children’s healing place), provides a one-stop entry point for a range of specialist supports for people experiencing family and domestic violence, including advocacy, counselling, legal assistance, and support for children.
The hub also provides family and domestic violence outreach services to Derby and Bidyadanga.
Interim Broome Hub services have been delivered since November 2024 by Men’s Outreach Service Aboriginal Corporation (MOSAC), operating as Family Outreach Service, while work progressed to secure a suitable property.
MOSAC, an Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation that has supported the West Kimberley community for 23 years, is delivering the hub service in partnership with Anglicare WA and service alliance members Nirrumbuk Aboriginal Corporation, Jalygurr Guwan Aboriginal Corporation, Broome CIRCLE and Legal Aid WA.
Together with Mirrabooka (Naala Djookan Healing Centre), Kalgoorlie (Mara Pirni Healing Place) and the new Perth city location (Ruah Centre for Women and Children), there are now four family and domestic violence one stop hubs working from dedicated premises, providing a single central point for victim-survivors to access support and services in their community.
