I cannot thank you enough for your support and kindness in a very difficult time in my life. It was so reassuring for me to be able to rely on [WDVCAS] professional work ethic... Thank you for achieving such as excellent outcome for me.... you have really restored my faith in the support [WDVCAS] provided to me.

My lawyer was able to achieve an outcome that should of occurred by other means long ago. Without this service I would still be a victim of DV.

… please know that the work of WDVCAS is invaluable to people/women, like me, who are so distressed and overwhelmed in these horrible circumstances …I felt seen, heard and that I mattered.

I can't thank you enough for the support. it's been great. What a great service for many people in need.

My children and I have never felt happier and safer. Thank you for giving us our freedom and safety back again! My kids are now growing up in a home free of DV and abuse because of your help. I will never be able to thank you enough.

The understanding and compassion shown towards me and my situation was second to none. I don't believe I would've received the positive end result if it were not for the support I received from this service.

Intervention order in place that meets the needs and makes me feel safe to now go about rebuilding my life.
