The Justice Support Centre  is a not-for-profit organisation that supports people in South West Sydney with legal issues, as well as supporting women and children affected by domestic and family violence in South West Sydney, City of Sydney, Inner West and Waverley.

Providing free domestic violence and legal services, this organisation provides people with guidance, support services and the strength needed to navigating the legal system, claim their rights, know their options and choose their next step.

Justice Support Centre believes in a holistic approach  which means providing assistance with financial counseling for those women recovering from abuse  so they are better able to overcome debt, manage a budget and work toward their financial goals.

The Justice Support Centre also supports women who are seeking legal protection from abuse and have access to court advocacy so they don’t have to go through the court process alone. The organisation also offers safety planning to their clients to  help ensure they keep themselves and their children safe.

Emotional support is also provided so that clients have a space to feel heard and respected.  Such support can help reduce trauma for clients navigating the  legal system or link them to counseling services to aid in recovering  from abuse.

The 2022- 2023 report shares stories from this organisation's clients that illustrate the life-changing and sometimes life-saving services provided by their programs and incredible teams.
