Murray Mallee & Adelaide Hills DV Service

The Murray Mallee and Adelaide Hills Domestic Violence Service (MMAHDVS) is a sector partner of the Domestic and Family Violence Safety Alliance (DFVSA).

In collaboration with DFVSA, MMAHDVS is committed to delivering high-quality, client-focused domestic and family violence services in South Australia. Our aim is to ensure that victim-survivors (primarily women) and their children experiencing violence are safe and supported in their recovery and able to achieve sustainable housing and life outcomes. We work across the Murray Mallee and Adelaide Hills, responding to client and community needs shaped by the unique places they live.

State-wide service delivery is integrated, consolidated and specialised, ensuring that families receiving support experience an improved journey towards safety.

About our service

MMAHDVS supports victim-survivors of current or recent domestic and/or Aboriginal family violence who are at risk of, or experiencing, homelessness. We provide support regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, cultural background, religious beliefs, physical/mental/psychosocial disability, or other diverse identities. Our support is guided by the risk, safety, and identified needs of the victim-survivor, alongside the availability of and access to specialist support for their individual circumstances.

In some cases, this may mean referring to other services that can better provide safe and appropriate support to meet the needs of victim-survivors. This ensures that all services, including accommodation, remain safe and accessible for all victim-survivors.

This service is funded by Department for Human Services.

• safety first,
