Family Domestic Violence

The Family and Domestic Violence Peel Interagency Network (FDV-PIN) provides opportunities for organisations and service providers in the Mandurah and Peel Region to connect, share information and resources, identify trends and gaps, explore opportunities for collaboration and avoid duplication.

The Network will strengthen liaison between organisations, and enhance referral pathways and client access to services related to (but not exclusive of) family and domestic violence, gender based violence, sexual assault and abuse.
