About our service
Safe at Home provides free home safety audits and upgrades for women experiencing or at risk of domestic or family violence. Our goal is to support women to remain safely in their home or a home of their choosing.
This service is funded by Department for Human Services.
Our supports
Safe at Home can provide and pay for safety audits and security upgrades to your home, whether it’s your current home or a new home you’re moving to.
These upgrades may include:
- alarms,
- duress buttons,
- locks and screens,
- technology audits,
- other security measures.
You will work with a specialist worker to decide what will make you feel the safest in your home.
