Safer Pathways for CALD Women

Safer Pathways for CALD Women Program aims to help CALD women living in the Mackay region that are experiencing, or at risk of, Domestic and Family Violence or Sexual Assault, to access the support that they need. The Program’s focus is on connecting with CALD communities of Mackay to educate them about respectful relationships and about Domestic and Family Violence, to improve referral pathways to DVRS Mackay and Mackay Women’s Service, and to seek feedback on what barriers prevent CALD Women from accessing support.

Safer Pathways for CALD Women includes:

• A series of workshops (a toolkit) for CALD Women to equip them with skills and knowledge about their rights and how to stay safe, as well as to provide information about the support and services available.
• Community education and engaging CALD volunteers to raise awareness about domestic and family violence in their cultural communities.

Safer Pathways for CALD women is funded by the federal government and is delivered in the Mackay area by The Neighbourhood Hub.
