About The Orange Door
A key recommendation of the Royal Commission and the Roadmap for Reform was to establish a network of The Orange Door (otherwise known as Support and Safety Hubs) across Victoria to provide a new way for women, children and young people experiencing family violence, and families in need of support with the care, development and wellbeing of children and young people, to access coordinated support from community, health and justice services. The Orange Door also focuses on perpetrators of family violence to keep them in view and plays a role in holding them accountable for their actions and changing their behaviour.
The Orange Door delivers a fundamental change to the way services work with women, children and families, and men. It seeks to provide:
- a more visible contact point so that people know where to go for specialist support;
- help for people to identify family violence and child wellbeing issues;
- support to access justice and legal support;
- advice based on contemporary risk assessment tools and guidance;
- specialist support and tailored advice for victims, families and children, and perpetrators;
- connection and coordination of access to support; and
- a system-wide view of service capacity, client experience and outcomes.
The Orange Door supports the agency of women, children and families by ensuring that the services they receive meet their needs and goals.
