Safe Steps Family Violence Response Centre is a Melbourne-based nonprofit operating in the individual and family services sector. It serves as Victoria's only 24/7 entry point for victim-survivors of domestic and family violence, coordinating a range of supports from information and referral to crisis response, risk assessment, safety planning and access to supported accommodation. The centre also provides specialist trauma counselling through the national service 1800 RESPECT, and its work primarily supports women and children, reflecting the gendered nature of the issue. It employs a mid-sized team and operates to deliver statewide services across Victoria. In 2025, Safe Steps announced the launch of two outreach buses to raise awareness of its domestic and family violence support services across Melbourne.
