Beyond DV Ltd was founded as a result of the lived experience of supporting a loved one through a domestic violence situation.
Going through the court process over six months and witnessing, in that time, the enormous number of women from all walks of life, in the same situation, had a profound impact.
This ignited a desire to use existing skills, expertise and contacts to support women and children impacted by
Domestic Violence as they rebuild their lives.
In July 2017, after approaching the local State MP with ideas for a charity, meetings were arranged with various government departments who believed that the proposed services were unique and would fill gaps in existing services.
After liaising with several established domestic violence organisations, the formal process of establishing Beyond DV as a charity was commenced.
In October 2017 Beyond DV Ltd was registered as a Company Limited by Guarantee. In December 2017, Beyond DV Ltd was registered as a charity with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profit Commission with Public Benevolent Institution status and in January 2018, the charity was granted Deductible Gift Receipt status by the Australian Taxation Office.
