The Orange Door

The Victorian Government has committed to implementing all 227 recommendations of the Royal Commission into Family Violence and to delivering on the vision described in Roadmap for Reform: Strong families, Safe children. A key recommendation of the Royal Commission and the Roadmap for Reform was to establish a network of Support and Safety Hubs (The Orange Door). The Orange Door will deliver a fundamental change to the way we work with women, children and families, and men. The Orange Door will bring together different workforces and practices to create an integrated Orange Door team to create a new way of support.

The Orange Door Team will include a mix of staff employed by local Community Service Organisations (CSO’s) for the Loddon region together with Family Safety Victoria and DHHS. These organisations are Bendigo District Aboriginal Cooperative (BDAC), Njernda, Anglicare and Centre for Non - Violence working collaboratively to provide and deliver services for The Orange Door across the breadth of the Loddon region.

The Orange Door has a new full time position available:
