Broome Family & Domestic Violence Refuge
If you are in immediate danger, please contact the police.
No one should feel unsafe in their home or relationship.

During your stay at the Broome FDV Refuge, you can expect:
-
A welcoming, safe environment where people will feel supported.

Parenting resources and guidance, tailored to individual needs.
-
Warm referrals to essential services and longer-term accommodation.
-
Assistance with accessing Centrelink services.
-
Focused health and wellbeing support.
Refuge FAQs
While referrals are welcome, any woman and her child/children can present to the Refuge for support when they are experiencing violence.
Please bring an ID and other personal details if possible. Otherwise, presenting at the Refuge without these items is okay as our priority is the person’s safety.
