Kylie's Story

It takes a lot of courage for a victim of domestic violence to reach out for help.

I know, because I am a survivor myself. 

In my darkest hour, sitting alone on a cold Melbourne beach, I found the strength to reach out for help.

Helplines were disconnected, support services were underfunded, and the help I needed was often a 12-month waitlist away.  Seeking support was a terrifying leap of faith, and there was no one there to catch me.

I was left feeling more isolated, more afraid, and more alone than ever before.

My life goal to help women and children access the support they need to survive and move forward began that night. I vowed to do everything I could to ensure that no one would face the same roadblocks as I had. 

I knew that the answer was not to create another charity, but to work with existing organisations to secure additional resources so they can support more women and children fleeing domestic violence. If a shelters supports 10 women today, how can we support them so they can support 20 women tomorrow.

This is how the DV Collective came to be.
