The Northern Domestic Violence Prevention and Recovery Hub has opened in Adelaide's north, giving women more access to vital services, support and information to help keep them safe.

Being led by Women’s Safety Services SA and SA Police, the hub will provide an integrated response to domestic violence prevention, early intervention and recovery, with the Legal Services Commission also providing outreach services.

Services available at the hub, which will primarily provide services to women and families in the Playford, Salisbury, Gawler, Barossa, Light and Mallala regions, include immediate safety responses and access to onsite police services.

Other key community services will be co-located at the centre in the coming months.

Women’s Safety Services SA Acting Chief Executive Jodie Sloan said the hub would provide a safe place for women and their children.

“Collaborative service initiatives have long been known for being at the forefront of best practice for responding to domestic and family violence,” Ms Sloan said.

SA Police Commissioner Grant Stevens agreed: “South Australia Police recognises the importance in the establishment of the Northern Multi-Agency Hub and the role this unique, supportive service will have in improving services to victim-survivors of domestic violence."

“The role of police at the Northern Multi-Agency Hub will include facilitation of information sharing to victims and their children; delivery of disclosures under the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme and ‘police station’ services for victims in terms of taking reports, statements and intervention order applications.”

The hub is accessible to women by referral, with most expected to come through the DV Crisis Line, SAPOL, the DV Disclosure Scheme and Women’s Safety Services SA outreach programs.
