Domestic violence support

17/06/2020
Criminal, Family, General
During recent times we have all spent a considerable amount of time at home but for some, home is not the safest place.  We discuss domestic violence support and where those impacted by domestic violence can turn for help.

By many accounts, requests for domestic violence support have spiked and are expected to increase even as the COVID-19 restrictions continue to ease. For those experiencing domestic violence, the legal system can provide some support by way of a Protection order. Applications can be made by the police or by an individual who can attend at their local magistrate court. A lawyer can assist you in drafting that application.

Resources

For immediate support, those impacted by DV can turn to the police. Otherwise, there is a multitude of organisations accessible to our community offering free or low-cost support.  The services offered by these organisations include advice and information, counselling, emergency accommodation, expert referral, court support and a host of other services.

  • The Domestic Violence Action Centre operates in Ipswich to support those affected by DV. They can be contacted on (07) 3816 3000.
  • The Women’s Legal Service Queensland offers legal services, safety plans and an array of other services and can be contacted on 1800 957 957.
  • The Brisbane Domestic Violence Service offers court support, safety and risk management for those in domestic violence environments and perpetrator programs and can be contacted on (07) 3217 2544. 
  • DV Connect offers  services for both men and women:
    Men’s line: 1800 600 636
    Women’s Line: 1800 811 811

To speak with an experienced professional regarding domestic violence and how you can access all necessary personal and legal services, please contact us.

Testimonials

Ellie, thank you so much for your amazing support. Al and I were very impressed by your professionalism and successful outcome. We will be sure to contact you again in the future and will also recommend you to friends and family.

Jo and Al, Client

I am the executor for a family member's deceased estate and living interstate. Gerard and Laurisa have been outstanding with their knowledge, professionalism and communication. I work with conveyancers on a daily basis and experience good and the bad from the industry. Walker Pender are first class and highly recommend their services.

Brendon Fredericks, Client

A friendly, knowledgeable firm with staff who go above and beyond to ensure your needs are accommodated in a professional manner. Strongly recommend.

Nat Webb, Client

We received fantastic service from Gerard and his team in dealing with an early acquisition issue and subsequent sale and purchase of property. Gerard and Tiffany were efficient, friendly and best of all, reasonably priced. Could not be happier. Walker Pender are first class, I would recommend them without hesitation.

Markus Jarvinen, Client

In my recent dealings with Walker Pender I found the service to be first class. A big investment in buying my home was a lot to deal with logistically, as well as the emotional rollercoaster that goes with this. Tiffany and Gerard at Walker Pender guided me the whole way and made me feel at ease. It all came down to effective communication along the way by both sides here. The settlement went off without a glitch and I am now in my new home. All thanks to the Walker Pender team! Thank you. Walker Pender is now helping me with my will and my estate planning matters to protect myself, my family and our assets.

Mick Lenihan, Client
