Unfortunately no Disabled — or for Clients with young kids — undercover parking. There are only 3-4 Parks and they are all for Staff. If Djirra stays in this location, there is little that can be done to rectify this situation. The pluses though, are the kindness and generosity of the Staff, the smooth quality/flavour of the fine green tea, the fairly recent inside renovation, and the best "Identify as Female," toilet in the whole of Melbourne, perhaps the State! A great Team of Lawyers and support Staff from Reception through to Djirra's Social Workers & Advocates. Impressive also, as an Organisation visibly working to improve itself — community standing and overall outcomes for Clients/Community.
Djirra is an Aboriginal women's legal service but it so so much more than that They've helped me work out that I deserve much more and to be treated better than the way my husband and kids treated me, I say used to as I'm about to start divorce proceedings and I've wiped my kids - you would think that your own would not lie, cheat or steal from you, but you wouldn't always be right for thinking that No one has the right to abuse you in any way - physically, emotionally, financially, verbally, no one. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect and Djirra helped me realise that I definitely deserve better Check out my possum skin story
Djirra is an aboriginal womens legal service assisting mainly with domestic violence support and services. Indigenous women can access toiletries, clothing and variety of fantastic inclusive hands on workshops and sessions including cooking, art, craft and community consultations. I attended a Mabu Mabu pavlova workshop yesterday with Nornie from Mabu Mabu - the wattleseed chocolate pavlova was to die for.
Very helpful. Can and will do what they can. Only CIVIL matters are dealt with. You can be referred. Holistic support for Family and Domestic violence, single INDIGENOUS Mother's will be totally supported; in every way.
Legal advice and their internal and external resources and volunteers keep you in the light, even when assigning a new lawyer, you are informed.
