25.01.2022 On White Ribbon Day today, we want all South Australians to know that support is available for anyone who may be experiencing domestic violence and we’re asking everyone to remain vigilant during the state’s six-day circuit breaker lockdown. Even though we’re asking people to stay at home, South Australians should know that if they are experiencing violence or abuse at home, they can leave, if they believe it is safe to do so. If you see or hear anything out of the ordina...ry, report it. All critical DV services are continuing and anyone experiencing violence at home, or is feeling threatened or unsafe, can call one of the many available DV hotlines and seek support and in an emergency, call Triple Zero. DV Crisis Line: 1800 800 098 Men’s Referral Service: 1300 766 491 RESPECT hotline: 1800RESPECT (737 732)
