Welcome to the Tell Someone website! It has been designed to
provide information to anyone in our diverse community who may
have been hurt by family violence and would like to know what to
do and where to go for help. Most of the time, families love
each other very much, and never do anything to hurt anyone in
their family. Sometimes however, families do hurt each other -
this is called family violence and family violence is against
the law. The Family Violence Protection Act 2008 covers all
types of family violence and a wide range of family and family-
like relationships. It can better protect the community from
family violence and make those who use violence against their
family more accountable for their behaviour. While anyone can be
a victim or perpetrator of family violence, most family violence
is committed by men against women, children and other vulnerable
people, like those with a disability. This website is aimed at
educating people with a mild intellectual disability and their
family and community
