Coledale Family Violence Service

For over a decade now, Anglicare - Northern Inland has provided a weekly counselling service in Coledale, a suburb of Tamworth.

In more recent years, funding from the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA) has enabled ANI to employ a full-time Aboriginal Liaison Officer (ALO) who is based at the Coledale Community Centre.

The ALO’s primary role is to work alongside members of the Coledale community and develop strategies aimed at addressing and minimising the high incidence of family violence in the area.

In addition to providing a counselling service each week, ANI also conducts regular workshops, forums etc utilising a range of guest speakers and presenters from various disciplines, who are able to inform and educate community members on a wide range of topics related to family violence, health and life skills.

If you wish to know more about our activities in Coledale please speak to Shane, our Aboriginal Liaison Officer, on 6765 6531 Mon – Fri during office hours.
