The Centre for Non-Violence (CNV) is the leading family violence service across the Loddon region. Established in 1990, CNV is recognised for its innovative services that support people to live free from family violence. We deliver a range of programs, including prevention, crisis, and therapeutic services. We support victim survivors of family violence from first contact through to recovery, whilst working in parallel with men using violence. 

By working with both victim survivors and people using violence, we can provide increased safety, participation and support for families and individuals impacted by family violence. This integrated approach is key to how we support people.

We have a commitment to ensuring victim survivors of family violence are safe and those who use violence are held accountable.  

CNV is a child-safe organisation and recognises that children are victim survivors of family violence in their own right.

CNV works with people across the lands of the Dja Dja Wurrung, Taungurung, Yorta Yorta and Wurundjeri peoples, with offices in Bendigo, Echuca, Kyneton and Maryborough.

We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander peoples as the First Nations Peoples of these lands and water, their sovereignty and sacred link to these lands and waters, and the ongoing harms and impacts of colonisation. We are committed to being a strong First Nations ally and walking together to achieve truth telling, justice, treaty and reconciliation.

We welcome and support people of all backgrounds, ethnicities, cultures, ages, gender identities, sexual orientations, and abilities.

Your support helps us to continue our work of responding to the impacts of and preventing family violence in Victoria.
