At DV Safe Phone, we give old mobile phones a powerful new purpose: protecting lives. Perpetrators often take, break, or monitor devices, leaving victims isolated and unable to call for help. A safe phone restores dignity, agency, and the ability to connect with loved ones, support services, or emergency responders.

We collect, repurpose, and gift secure, working mobile phones through our network of frontline agencies, including police, hospitals, crisis centres, and safe houses. Each safe phone becomes a lifeline for someone escaping domestic and family violence.

Our vision is simple but urgent: to ensure that every person experiencing abuse has access to a safe and reliable phone. Because every call for help should be heard.

Women’s Legal Service is dedicated to creating safer futures for Queensland families impacted by domestic violence. Our small staff team and over 100 volunteers provide free legal and welfare help to women and their children who are often living in fear. Our Statewide Helpline, drop in sessions, outreach and hospital programs provide over 30,000 vital services each year. However, due to increasing community need, 30% of calls can’t be answered. Everyone deserves to live in safety and our aim is to ensure help is there when it is needed most.
