20.01.2022 WoSSCA have just implemented our strategic plan for the next 5 years. The WoSSCA Vision of ‘all women and children living safely, with respect and dignity, free from violence in their chosen community’ remains unchanged, with our Mission to ‘act to prevent and provide responses to gendered violence’ still relevant. We look forward to achieving these set goals and providing best practice support to the women and children we work with into the future.

17.01.2022 We have some amazing allies out there who assist us in responding to domestic and family violence. Many thanks!

15.01.2022 Some of the fabulous WoSSCA team down at Reclaim the Night 2020. So many fabulous services in Central Australia supporting women and children.

14.01.2022 Today WoSSCA joined with CAWLS, Tangentyere Men’s Behaviour Change Program and the Alice Springs Court to agree on how we would work together in the Specialist Domestic and Family Violence Court. The focus will be on working together to address those who use violence and to support the women and children who experience that violence to ensure that victim’s needs are heard. This is a significant step in improving women’s and children’s safety and ensuring they are free from violence in our community.

13.01.2022 Today is International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and the launch of United Nations 16 Days of Activism. The Coronavirus Pandemic has intensified violence against women and children. It is now more important than ever to strive for WoSSCA’s vision of a future where all women and children live safely, with respect and dignity, free from violence.

03.01.2022 Our CEO was very privileged today to facilitate the launch of the Central Australian Minimum Standards for Men’s Behaviour Change Programs. WoSSCA works alongside Alice Springs Tangentyere-Women and the Jesuits to deliver this important program. With women’s safety at the forefront. The standards provide contextually specific expectations for MBCP within Central Australia.

01.01.2022 WoSSCA, along with many women’s services across the Northern Territory, have contributed greatly to the development of the new Risk Assessment and Management Framework that is to be implemented to address Domestic and Family Violence. This is a significant reform in the fight to recognise and respond appropriately.
