We’re here to help
Whether you are experiencing family violence yourself, wanting to help someone who is experiencing family violence, or a professional looking for information – we are here to assist you.
Our Barkly Street office is closed for now, but our service is still open!
Due to concerns about the safety of our main office building on Barkly Street in Footscray, we have had to close this location. GenWest's essential services and other family violence services will operate as normal from outposts across the west.
