A cash-strapped family violence service in Dandenong has a “glimmer of hope” after a meeting with Family Violence Prevention and Womens Minister Gabrielle Williams.
Wellsprings for Women recently called for $330,000 to help its case management service to continue supporting more than 100 women and families.
Chief executive Dalal Smiley said the meeting with Ms Williams on 5 March was “very positive”.
“Wellsprings will be meeting next with Family Safety Victoria to discuss our funding opportunities
“So nothing is in concrete as yet, but a glimmer of hope is definitely there.”
Ms Smiley said Wellsprings stressed how it was different to other service providers. The service argues that it is able to uniquely reach migrant women, overcome cultural barriers and make them comfortable enough to ask for help.
