What we do

Djirra provides practical support to Aboriginal people experiencing family violence, or who have experienced it in the past. We also provide cultural programs and workshops.

We provide these services to Aboriginal women and their children, sistergirls, brotherboys, trans and gender diverse people, non-binary, intersex and queer folk who identify as women, or who feel comfortable accessing a women’s service.

While Djirra does not provide services to Aboriginal men, we will always provide warm referrals to culturally safe services.

Djirra’s services, supports, and programs are available across Victoria.
