Are you worried that someone you know is experiencing family violence? Here you can find what to look for, and how to safely support them and yourself.
If someone is monitoring your device or knows how to read your computer’s history, they may be able to see information you have viewed recently on the internet.
We have recently updated this website which was previously part of the It’s not OK campaign to reduce family violence in New Zealand. You can find more information about the It’s not OK campaign on this page.
The purpose of this updated website is to provide easy to access and relevant information for people seeking support for family violence in New Zealand. Those worried about safety in their relationship or their supporters can understand their situation better and find pathways to immediate help.
We plan to continue improving this space in the coming months and your feedback will help us do this. Please send any feedback on the website to family_violence_CPP@msd.govt.nz. This email is only checked during office hours.
To speak to someone about family violence you can call the Family Violence Information Line on 0800 456 450 or use the 'chat online' function below.
If you or someone you know are in immediate danger please contact 111.
