The Escaping Violence Payment program (EVP) is available to anyone who is experiencing violence from their partners. This includes violent or threatening behaviour that is:
- Physically, verbally or sexually abusive
- Emotionally, spiritually or psychologically abusive
- Economically abusive
- Threatening, coercive, or seeks to control or dominate the other person.
If you are looking to leave a violent partner, or have recently left and you are struggling with the finances to live your life in safety, you could be eligible for:
- Up to $1500 in financial assistance such as vouchers for essential items
- Goods and services such as removalists, bonds or basics for a new home
- Wrap-around support including casework from the EVP provider.
You do not need to be connected to Uniting WA to access the program. If you are already working with a family violence support service, talk to them about what to do next.
Please note this is not a crisis service. If you are in a situation of danger now, please call 000.
If you are experiencing family violence and need immediate support or advice, call 1800 RESPECT or visit the Get Support Now page on our website.
