ABOUT US

Our organisation was established 43 years ago by a group of culturally diverse women with a commitment to elevating the voices and rights of migrant women experiencing domestic and family violence. We remain a strong, committed team of migrant women striving to deliver high-quality, social justice outcomes for families in Western Sydney and beyond. Immigrant Women’s SpeakOut Association of NSW (SpeakOut) is a leading not-for-profit organisation. We are dedicated to reducing isolation, promoting community engagement, and supporting women’s financial and emotional independence. We provide crisis and long-term support for women and children experiencing domestic, family, and sexual violence (DFSV), supporting them to achieve their goals, and rebuild their lives.

Deliver clinical guidance and practice leadership to a team of case managers who provide emotional and practical support to women and children seeking safety and navigating systems that respond to DFSV.
• Service delivery including culturally responsive engagement, biopsychosocial assessment, advocacy, case management, and physical and psychosocial safety planning. Child safe engagement is provided to support adult and child safety and recovery.
