Domestic and family violence is never acceptable. Everyone deserves to feel safe, valued, and respected, every day of the year.
May is Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month in Queensland. Itās a time to reflect, raise awareness, and support those affected in our community. Even small acts of kindness, listening without judgement, or sharing helpful resources can make a difference.
If you or someone you know needs support, practical help and information are available.
