Get help

An advocate can help women and children experiencing family violence and homelessness by:

Representing your views if you feel unable to do this yourself
Providing information and guidance
Preparing written communications or legal submissions
Accompanying you to meetings, hearings or appointments
Clarifying processes and procedures
Negotiating and mediating to resolve disputes
Gathering and organising information and documentation.

An advocate is not a lawyer. If you need legal advice, we can put you in touch with a community legal organisation experienced in family violence.

The Good Samaritan Inn acknowledges the Wurundjeri people as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which its services are based. We recognise that this land was never ceded, and the experience of colonisation and loss continues to affect the lives of First Nations Peoples and communities today. Despite this, First Nations peoples’ connection to land, sea and community is strong and continuing. We pay our respects to Elders past and present, and to the First Nations children and future leaders, for they hold the memories, the traditions, the cultures, and hopes for First Nations peoples.
