We empower domestic violence victims to live safe, connected lives through sustainable technology solutions.
Our Values:
Community. Empathy. Integrity. Innovation. Collaboration.
DV Safe Phone collects, repurposes, and distributes free mobile phones to victims of domestic violence through a national network of over 430 registered agencies—DV support services, police stations, hospitals, and safe houses. These phones are often a victim’s only lifeline to safety and support.
Since 2020, we have provided over 12,500 DV Safe Phone Kits across Australia. Each kit includes a working mobile phone, charger, starter SIM, and phone credit—offered completely free to frontline workers and the victims they support.
We are proudly aligned with the National Plan to End Violence Against Women and Children and aim to support 20,000 lives by 2026.
Our current priorities include expanding our reach into regional and remote areas, raising awareness, and ensuring consistent funding to meet growing demand.
Support from philanthropic funds is critical to sustaining this work and aligns directly with our mission and vision. With strong corporate and community backing, a low-cost, high-impact model, and demonstrated results, DV Safe Phone is uniquely placed to continue delivering safety, dignity, and connection to those who need it most.
