Orange Door
The Orange Door is a free service in Victoria that provides support and assistance to individuals and families facing various challenges. Here are the key aspects of the Orange Door’s services:
- Family Violence Support: The Orange Door serves as an access point for women, children, and young people experiencing family violence. It offers a safe space where individuals can seek help, guidance, and resources related to family violence.
- Child and Family Services: Beyond family violence, the Orange Door also acts as an entry point for families needing assistance with child and family services. Whether it is support for child development, parenting, or general family well-being, the Orange Door connects families to the appropriate services.
- Access Without Referral: People can call or visit the Orange Door in person without needing a referral. It operates during business hours (9 am to 5 pm, Monday to Friday) and provides information, guidance, and connections to relevant services.
Remember, in case of an emergency, always call 000.
