We are a national collective of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community-controlled organisations working to prevent, respond to and support healing from family, domestic and sexual violence.

Our members range from ACCOs delivering specialist family, domestic and sexual violence services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peak bodies and ACCOs delivering FDSV services across other core functions such as health, wellbeing, child and family services, housing, Alcohol and Other Drugs, law and justice.

Together, we form a unified national voice — one that is shaped by community, led by culture and driven by the lived realities of those on the frontline.
