Family and Domestic Violence Hub

MercyCare has partnered with Naala Djookan Healing Centre to provide support for those affected by family and domestic violence.

Mercycare is a proud partner of the Naala Djookan Healing Centre, led by the City of Stirling. The centre provides support services specifically for women and children who are experiencing or affected by family and domestic violence. It offers a single place to seek assistance, bringing together services rather than requiring an individual to go to several different places.

If you are in immediate danger, please contact the police
