Activity details

Providing more victim-survivors who are ready to leave refuges and crisis accommodation with medium-term temporary stable housing and coordinated family violence support, with the aim of supporting them to maintain their tenancy or obtain other independently managed housing. 

This activity is part of a broader activity to provide a holistic approach to meeting victim-survivors’ short, medium and long term accommodation needs and reducing the risks of homelessness for victim-survivors.

Implementation progress update

The Berry Street STAR program provides residents access to a range of services and therapeutic supports including specialist family violence case management, counselling, therapeutic groups, parenting programs, skills workshops, and enhanced access to universal services. 

The Berry Street STAR program provides post crisis accommodation to victim survivor households on temporary visas, including single women, but retains a focus on households with a young child. 

Further information about Berry Street's programs can be found at Berry Street - Family violence support services
