Hi there. If your daughter is leaving an abusive or difficult relationship we recommend that she seek the assistance of an organisation that provides help to women and their children in her situation. There are several organisations like this in Tasmania, and they provide a wide range of services. Services they provide include advice on how to deal with a break up, referrals for legal aid, and a safe place to stay if your daughter needs it.

Depending on your daughter’s location in Tasmania, she can contact any of the following services for assistance:

  • Family Violence Counselling and Support Service (Safe at Home). This is a service providing counselling and support for people experiencing domestic and family violence. Contact them on 1800 608 122.
  • Huon Domestic Violence Service. Contact them on (03) 6264 2222
