Our Values
Binaal Billa recognises that our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women are reluctant and do not often report family violence because of fear of losing their children, housing, fear of authorities, the surrounding stigma, shame and many more reasons. Binaal Billa’s mission is to erase this stigma and provide support, services, and community education to our outreach areas to assist our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander victims of family violence children and families. We want to work with our community to erase the stigma and shame, build resilience and ensure there are culturally appropriate and safe services.
