Family violence is a significant human rights issue in Victoria. Everyone has a right to safety in homes, schools, at work and on the streets.

Relationships

Women, non-binary and gender diverse people often talk to us about relationship issues they may be experiencing; WIRE provides support and information so people can make decisions about what course of action is right for them.

Housing

Having a safe, secure place to live is one of the most basic human rights. WIRE’s housing resources aim to help women, nonbinary and gender-diverse people in Victoria understand and better navigate the housing system.

Migration

People move countries for all sorts of reasons. WIRE can offer support for women, nonbinary and gender-diverse people experiencing isolation, visa stress, racism and more.

Health & wellbeing

Audre Lorde said self-care was a radical act, an act of radical self-preservation — you can't pour from an empty vessel. Self-care is an important part of living well. Explore this section for information on emotional and mental health well-being.

WIRE can talk to you about pregnancy, family planning, abortion, parenting orders and the day-to-day experience of raising toddlers, primary-aged kids and teenagers. We can also discuss adolescent violence.
