Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Family and Domestic Violence One Stop Hub?
Show moreA FDV Hub does not include emergency support or accommodation. Instead, it provides an early intervention and prevention approach which is intended to support longer-term outcomes for families.
This approach helps to address vulnerabilities and behaviours that may escalate into family and domestic violence or provides protective measures aimed at preventing this from happening in the first place.
Why do we need a FDV Hub in Broome?
Show moreSadly, the West Kimberley district has among the highest number of hospital admissions relating to family and domestic violence across Western Australia.
Broome was determined to be well-suited for a FDV Hub location because of its infrastructure availability and the distribution of the Kimberley population.
What type of services will be offered at the FDV Hub?
Show moreThese services may include support for alcohol and drug dependency, primary and mental health care, financial and legal services, and counselling for women, youth and children. People in Broome have told us that cultural healing and On Country activities are an important part of FDV prevention and intervention.
The Hub will also provide activities such as parenting groups with a creche available on site.
Will there be support for people who behave violently at home?
