Community Resource Guide to Family Violence

Murrindindi and Mitchell Shire Councils have collaborated to develop a Community Resource Guide to Family Violence.

The guide pulls together information about what family is, what the risk factors and warning signs look like, how to (and how not to) navigate conversations about family violence as well as a comprehensive list of support services available for both Shires as well as National support services.

This resource is available for free download here and will also be available for free in hard copy at various locations in both Shires. In Murrindindi Shire, you can find the guide at Council Library and Customer Service Locations (Alexandra, Kinglake and Yea). We are also distributing copies to various local businesses. If you have any queries or wish to make the guide available at your business, please contact us.

The Community Resources Guide to Family Violence provides:

  • information about what family violence is
  • help to understand and identify the signs of family violence
  • suggestions on respectfully responding to disclosures of family violence
  • information about Family Violence Leave entitlements for those in employment 
  • list of resources and services that are available to support community members
