Numula
Family Safety Response Program

The Numula program aims to strengthen the social and emotional wellbeing of Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander community members. This is done through support and assistance provided to individuals and families to become strong, healthy and resilient individuals, families and communities.

The objective of the program is to address and challenge domestic and family violence for men and women, children and young people within the home and community. The program works closely with other services throughout catchment area; encouraging stakeholders to work collaboratively to develop and promote safer communities.

Referrals to the program are received through government and non-government agencies as well as through self-referrals via direct contact with the Numula program staff.

Numula can offer client support, referrals to other services and provide information to families, children, young people and individuals who are experiencing or witnessing violence as listed below:

The Numula Family Safety Response Program (Numula) is funded to provide culturally responsive support and links to services for Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander individuals and families impacted by Domestic and Family Violence.

The service is multi-functional-holistic and flexible in the ways of working and focuses on the well-being of all family members.

The Numula program recognises the cultural importance of extended kinship systems and cultural protocols and such demonstrates respect and acknowledges the diversity within Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander Community overall.

The service staff work collaboratively across the sector with partner agencies, community members, community groups e.g. Elders and other organisations who also work to reduce Domestic and Family Violence and respond to other issues within communities. These collaborations and partnerships provide greater accessibility for community members to engage and receive the assistance they need at the right time and place.
