Who to contact
if you’re being harmed
If violence, abuse or neglect are happening to you or to someone else:
Make direct contact with an agency that provides safeguarding services: such as PASAT, People for Us, or AroVā.
Or share your questions with VisAble, so we can connect you with the right agency.
Or - fill out VisAble’s enquiries form.
In an emergency – or if violence or abuse is happening NOW:
Dial 111
VisAble is not a crisis service.
☎️ 111 - police, ambulance, fire.

Violence, abuse and neglect are NOT OKAY,
regardless of who is doing it to you.
