The Orange Door opens in Shepparton – Ethnic Council of Shepparton and District

The Orange Door is a free service for adults, children and young people who are experiencing or have experienced family violence and families who need extra support with the care of children. The Orange Door is now open in Central Shepparton, opposite Coles and Kmart.

The Orange Door provides help and support for family violence, as well as for families in need of support with the wellbeing and development of children.

The Orange Door network can also provide advice to concerned friends and family about supporting someone to seek help. You can get help and support in person or over the phone, with no referral required.

As part of the changes, Child FIRST has moved across to The Orange Door who will now be taking referrals for child and family services as well as specialist family violence and perpetrator services.
