Domestic Violence Awareness Month

In Australia, 1 in 6 women and 1 in 16 men have experienced physical or sexual violence by a current or former partner. In Victoria alone, police respond to a family violence incident every six minutes. 

Domestic and family violence can take many forms — including physical harm, emotional abuse, coercive control, financial manipulation, and social isolation. It impacts people from all walks of life. 

At Melbourne Lawyers and Mediators, we regularly assist clients in:

  • Applying for Family Violence Intervention Orders
  • Urgent and long-term parenting arrangements
  • Divorce and property settlements in high-risk situations

Our team offers compassionate, confidential advice to help protect your safety and your future. If you or someone you know needs legal help with family violence or family law, contact us. All discussions are confidential and judgment-free.

If you need assistance, contact one of our lawyers for expert legal advice
