Why We Need Bequests
By including a gift to DVassist in your Will, you help ensure we can continue our vital work supporting people in regional, rural, and remote Western Australia as they recover and rebuild their lives after experiencing family and domestic violence.
Your generosity allows us to respond more effectively to the needs of regional, rural and remote communities – enhancing safety, building resilience, and offering individuals and families a more hopeful future.
“I feel gratitude for the counselling support you provide it has really helped me get through this awful time”
