Domestic Violence Advocacy Service

The Domestic Violence Advocacy Service (DVAS) is a specialised legal service for women experiencing domestic violence. Our main objective is to inform women of their legal rights and their right to access the services that are available. DVAS provides a range of free and confidential legal services including:

• Casework, legal advice and advocacy
• Education and Training
• Committees and Consultations
• Policy Development and Law Reform

DVAS is the only dedicated legal service of its kind in Australia, and consequently acts as a peak body in the area of domestic violence.

DVAS was established in 1986 when the Women’s Legal Resource Centre (WLRC) identified the need for a Community Legal Centre to solely assist women experiencing domestic violence.
