The Orange Door is an easily accessible, community-based point of entry for children, young people and families needing support.
Some families need family services support when they are experiencing difficulties that impact on their parenting and family life.
The Orange Door is the new access point for women, children and young people who are experiencing family violence. It is also the entry point into family services, for families who need assistance with the care and wellbeing of children to access the services they need to be safe and supported.
Orange Door teams are located in sites across Victoria and is delivered in your local area by community service organisations.
