Join a Team committed to Supporting and Protecting the Rights of Women and Children to Live a Life Free from Violence

Who Are We?

Women’s Safety Services SA is a not for profit organisation that supports women and children who are experiencing or escaping from domestic and family violence. Our programs include Domestic Violence Crisis Line, DV Disclosure Scheme and Regional Domestic Violence Services. We believe domestic violence is everybody’s business and that all layers of society should continue to strive for its elimination. We promote and share feminist understandings of domestic and family violence, and are committed to assisting women to feel safe and supported, and to achieve their goals. 

Everything we do is aimed to protect the safety of women and children in our community.

I have worked in many places over my career and with WSSSA for 3 years. No other workplace has been more supportive, dedicated and inclusive.

Working with WSSSA is challenging, rewarding, and strongly aligns with my values and beliefs. I feel connected here.

Name Withheld

I have been employed with WSSSA for over three years and was part of the service prior to the merger. My experience of WSSSA is that it is a very supportive and flexible organisation. The focus is always on the safety of our client target group as well as the well being of staff. The leadership team  show interest in the work we do to support women and children impacted by domestic and family violence as well as showing interest in employees of the service. Positive relationships have been developed with the various regional services which have a positive outcome for the women and children whom we provide a service to.

Name Withheld

I have worked for WSSSA for 8 years, within two different programs, and I love it here. There is a genuine culture of empathy, for clients and for staff, and a pervasive, consistent feeling of passion for the work within the organisation. Management are approachable, transparent and always looking for ways to improve the work that we do, and the staff care deeply about supporting women and children’s safety. The work is often challenging, but also rich, engaging and rewarding. I totally recommend working here.

WSSSA is a workplace underpinned by values of respect, collaboration, and empowerment.  These values are present in the work we do with our clients and how we support each other.  It is an environment where you feel you are nurtured as a person and a professional.

This year, I will be completing three years of working for Women’s Safety Services. What stands out most is the platform that I have been provided with to grow and develop professionally in my work with clients, colleagues and stakeholders.  WSSSA is an organisation where I have been allowed to make mistakes and learn from them in a supportive and trusting environment. I have watched and learnt from executive managers about how to practice inclusive, compassionate and equitable leadership, steeped in feminist values. My experience working at WSSSA has made me a stronger advocate, a better team member and a more empathetic leader
