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

support service in Hobart. Contact them on (03) 6278 9090

Launceston. Contact them on (03) 6334 0305
