Crisis accommodation services

The Queensland Government invests in crisis accommodation services across Queensland to support women and children experiencing domestic and family violence (DFV), helping them to access safety during times of crisis.

This support is being expanded through a government election commitment to deliver 10 new or replacement DFV shelters, increasing access to safe crisis accommodation for women and children when they need it most.

The government is also investing in critical mobile support and outreach services for women and children escaping DFV who are residing in accommodation other than women’s shelters.

These specialist services work alongside women and their children experiencing DFV to understand their circumstances and connect them with the help they need. Support provided can include risk assessments and safety planning, counselling, advocacy and referrals to other important services.
