Redress Support Service

Based Wattle Place (Parramatta) and part of Relationships Australia.

A NSW state wide support service for both Indigenous and non-indigenous adults who spent their childhood in children’s homes and institutions such as Forgotten Australians, Members of the Stolen Generations and Forced Child Migrants.

The Redress Support Services can support eligible child sexual abuse survivors to make supported applications and achieve better outcomes from the National Redress Scheme (open to 2027)

Survivors who may be eligible for the Redress scheme from sexual abuse they experienced in their childhood may be missing out on the chance of making an application for Redress – financial compensation, an apology from the institution/organisation responsible and counselling.

Flyer and helpful posters about the Redress Support service and a link to the Wattle Place and NRS websites

Countering Violent Extremism Support Services in NSW

Posters providing contact details for domestic violence services

The City with Domestic Violence NSW have produced the attached Feel Safe in Your Own Home poster to inform people where help is available, should they or someone they know need it.

Domestic and family violence is a serious and prevalent problem in Australia. Support is available and it can also be prevented. Covid-19 restrictions have made it more challenging for people who have experienced domestic and family violence at home to access help and support. With restrictions easing more people maybe able to reach out.

Copies of the poster are also attached in Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Indonesian, Korean, Spanish, Thai, and Russian.

Furthermore, Our Watch is the national leader in the primary prevention of violence against women and children in Australia, and their website includes information on respectful relationships education and bystander videos including the series Doing nothing does harm.

Australian Men’s Health Forum

The Australian Men’s Health Forum, in partnership with Suicide Prevention Australia, is developing a statewide online resource for men at risk of suicide.

You don’t have to work directly in male suicide prevention to get involved. Your work could be dealing with some of the factors that can increased men’s risk of suicide. You may be promoting social connection in men or supporting dads at different stages of their fatherhood journey. You could be working with unemployed men, or men living with disabilities or long-term health conditions.

Maybe you provide support to Indigenous men or Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Men or males who identify as GBTI+; or maybe you work with men at different stages of life, like younger men or older men.

Put simply, if you’re based in New South Wales and you work to improve the lives and health of men and boys, we want to hear from you.

As a first step, an online information event was held in December 2021, to let you know more about this project and how it could benefit your work.

If you weren’t able to attend this event but would like to register your interest in this project, please email us at development@amhf.org.au with the words “NSW Male Suicide Project” in the subject line.
