Domestic and family violence and your visa

We can support victims of domestic and family violence by assisting them to regularise their visa status.

​​​Financial help

The Leaving Violence Program supports eligible victim-survivors aged 18 years or older to leave a violent intimate partner relationship. Eligibility does not depend on your visa status. Support includes:

  • risk and need assessments
  • safety planning
  • referrals to other services
  • up to $5,000 in financial support ($1,500 in cash and $3,500 in goods and services).

To access the program, you can call 1800 2 LEAVE on 1800 253 283. You can also visit the Leaving Violence Program website.
