Where services come together
The Hub model provides a range of family and domestic violence services in one location, alongside other community services, prioritising ease of access for victim-survivors in seeking help, assistance and support.
By co-locating key support with other community services, a ‘soft’ entry point is created, reducing stigma attached to seeking assistance.
The integrated service delivery shown in the Hubs model supports the State Government’s commitment to keeping Western Australian women and their children safe.
Western Australia’s first family and domestic violence Hubs in Kalgoorlie and Mirrabooka were officially launched by the Minister for the Prevention of Family and Domestic Violence in December 2020. An independent evaluation of the Hubs has been completed. Access the Family and Domestic Violence One Stop Hubs Evaluation Summary Report (PDF, 3.42MB).
The establishment of an additional two Hubs in Armadale and Broome were announced as part of election commitments in the 2022-23 state budget. Funding for the Perth hub as part of the Ruah Centre for Women’s and Children was announced in November 2023, bringing the number of Hubs in Western Australia to five.
