The Orange Door’s new Cranbourne location has officially opened. This new site can provide family violence and child wellbeing support to suit individual circumstances.
The Orange Door network can provide support face-to-face, via telephone or email. Services include family violence and child wellbeing risk and needs assessments, safety planning, brief interventions to address immediate safety and wellbeing needs, and connections to services for longer term support.
This new Cranbourne site is called an ‘access point’, which provides services to the local community to support The Orange Door’s primary site in Dandenong, which is known as a ‘hub’.
The Orange Door Cranbourne is now the largest access point in Victoria.
The Orange Door network began in Victoria in 2018, and has since helped more than 515,000 people, including 209,000 children.
The Orange Door network also works with people who use or are at risk of using abusive and controlling behaviour. They provide support by keeping them in view and connecting them with services that will work with them to change their behaviour.
The Orange Door network operates in 17 areas across the state: Central Highlands, Loddon, Barwon, Inner Gippsland, North East Melbourne, Bayside Peninsula, Goulburn, Ovens Murray, Inner Eastern Melbourne, Mallee, South West and Wimmera (Wimmera South West), Southern Melbourne, Outer Gippsland, Hume Merribek, Outer Eastern Melbourne, Brimbank Melton and Western Melbourne.
