About the "Living without Violence" Toolkit

• The toolkit is a series of information sheets, designed for people in NSW who have experienced domestic violence and are in the process of separating, or have recently separated from their partner.

• The intention is that relevant information sheets will be provided by community or legal workers to clients.

• The information sheets provide practical information about rights in relation to:
  •         Checklist and useful contacts: Leaving domestic violence
  •         Centrelink and domestic violence
  •         Debt and domestic violence
  •         Fines and domestic violence
  •         Immigration and domestic violence
  •         Divorce and domestic violence
  •         Property and domestic violence
  •         Parenting and domestic violence

• There is an introductory page with a definition of domestic violence, which highlights relevant human rights issues including the right to live without violence. There is also a promotional poster.

• This resource has been developed by community legal centres with the assistance of an Australian Human Rights Framework - Education Grant from the Australian Government.
