The Emma House Legal Program assists women and children who are experiencing, or have experienced family violence and reside in South West Victoria.
We believe every woman has the right to live free from family violence, and should have access to legal support. We prioritise women that face additional barriers to achieving justice, such as:
- having no or low income, or having no access to money
- having no secure housing, or being at risk of homelessness
- being Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander
- having English as a second language, or not being able to speak English
- living with a disability, or caring for children with a disability
- having limited access to other legal support
If we cannot assist, we will always try to find another service who might be able to help.
