Overview
Who It's For
Our service is for male perpetrators of domestic or family violence who need assistance with current or past family court procedures. A separate women’s service is offered by Legal Aid NSW.
How We Help
Delivered in partnership with Legal Aid NSW, we offer help with completing Court documents, or appearing in Court to represent you (depending on the circumstances). If necessary, we can also arrange an interpreter.
What to Expect
FASS is a non-judgemental and compassionate service. Our experienced team will ask for some personal information but always maintain confidentiality and protect your privacy. We’ll discuss your court matter and can refer you to other services that can help meet your needs.
We can help with:

"The FASS worker has been invaluable with his support for me throughout the complex, stressful and quite frankly awful Family Court process. He is always available and has helped me rationalise outcomes and issues that arise. So far I could not see myself navigating this process without his support. I cannot understate how important his service is to myself and others like me."

"This service is something men are crying out for. It’s so important to access help, advice and someone just to be there. Courts are confusing and lonely places. This service breaks down the process and helps you feel more comfortable with the jargon. You’re not alone - men need to be able to have support, care, advice and support. Too many men turn to alcohol and drugs to cope. This service is a terrific idea."
