Safety Plan

If you are in domestic violence, these suggestions may help you leave quickly if you are in danger:

Decide who to call if you feel threatened or in danger - call Police on 000 for crisis, or DVConnect for counselling.
Decide where to go if you need a safe place - Dvconnect can refer to Refuge 1800 811 811.
Decide what arrangements to make to ensure your children's safety.
Keep an extra key for your house and car.
Keep a list of emergency phone numbers handy.
Hide a change of clothing for you and your children.
Pack any medications you need.
Know where to find important papers and records in a hurry.
Keep some clothing, medication, important papers, keys and some cash hidden or at a friend's place.
Practice travelling to the location chosen as a safe place so you can get there safely even in a panic.
Keep a list of items you may wish to retrieve at a later date.
Speak to DVConnect 1800 811 811 if you have pets to consider before you leave.
