Help for Women Living with Domestic Violence


If you are a woman living with domestic violence in your home, there is support for you. The Women's Domestic Violence Court Advocacy Service (WDVCAS) gives free help and support in many different centres in NSW. The WDVCAS will:
explain how you can get legal protection; tell you what happens in court; go with you to court to support you; tell you what other organisations can help you; and organise a lawyer for you.
