PSA Delegate Julie Grigoriadis joined dedicated Family Violence Service members in celebrating Christmas with the families they work hard to support.

“This service is often the first point of contact for victim-survivors seeking help,” said PSA CPSU NSW President Nicole Jess. “It provides immediate crisis support, safety planning, and advocacy, ensuring that people escaping violence are not left to navigate the system alone.

“Beyond emergency assistance, the service offers ongoing case management, connecting individuals to housing, legal aid, counselling, and health services.

“The importance of this work cannot be overstated. In communities where domestic violence rates are among the highest in the state, the Mount Druitt Family Violence Service saves lives every day. It empowers individuals to break free from cycles of abuse and rebuild their futures in safety and dignity.

“As demand for support continues to rise, sustaining and strengthening services like Mount Druitt Family Violence Service is critical. They are a lifeline for families across NSW.”

Ms Grigoriadis is the recipient of PSA CPSU NSW Women’s Conference 2025 Outstanding Delegate Recognition Award.
