Family and Domestic Violence One Stop Hubs

One Stop Hubs are designed to make it easier for victims of family and domestic violence, by providing a range of support and wraparound services in one location.

Where services come together

The One Stop Hub (Hub) model provides a range of family and domestic violence services in one location, alongside other community services, prioritising ease of access for victims 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 bringing the number of Hubs in Western Australia to four.

Funding announced by the State Government as part of the 2023-24 budget brings the total investment in FDV Hubs to $64.8 million.

The Hub’s interim service, known as the South East FDV Healing Service, offers a range of holistic support services including group and one-to-one counselling, legal information sessions and men’s outreach services.

It also provides referral pathways from local agencies so people experiencing family and domestic violence can be connected with specialist support.

Broome One Stop Hub

Broome has been confirmed as the location for a new regional family and domestic violence One Stop Hub in the Kimberley.

This announcement was made by the Premier and the Minister for the Prevention of Family and Domestic Violence on 14 June 2022.

An engagement process began in July 2022 to help community members shape the design and development of the Hub in a culturally appropriate way.

A Final Report and summary outlining the findings of the engagement process and the key recommendations specific to the Broome Hub is available on the Stakeholder Engagement and Consultation page

The Department of Communities would like to thank all those who shared their expertise and own lived experiences which contributed valuable insights and guidance into the overall findings of the engagement process. The Broome Hub is expected to open in early 2024, following a process to appoint a suitable service provider.

A Registration of Interest process occurred in May 2023 to identify potential service providers. Aboriginal Community-Controlled Organisations (ACCOs) were strongly encouraged to register their interest.

A tender process is currently underway to lead the delivery of a new One Stop Hub for family and domestic violence services in Broome. The request for tender is open to Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations or Aboriginal Registered Businesses to lead the Broome Hub services. For more information visit Tenders WA
