Lived Experience advocacy and support
“Breaking cycles. Building safer futures.”
Our Mission
We’re on a mission to change the way society talks about Family Violence. Through honest conversations and real world education, we help people understand the hidden patterns of abuse, and how to break them. We believe that when everyday people are equipped with insight and support, they can become powerful agents of change in their homes and communities.
Freedom should never cost a home. Together, we can create affordable housing so no woman or child is ever forced back into danger building homes that heal, futures that last, and hope that endures.
Our Goals
Cycle Breaker Mission is a lived-experience-led, registered nonprofit helping women and children rebuild safe, independent lives after violence.
Our goal is to break the cycle of family violence through bold, real action led by those who’ve walked the journey.
We raise awareness through relatable education, build community by fostering courageous conversations, and stand beside women and children as they navigate the legal system walking with them through court, recovery, and beyond.
Why it matters
Family and domestic violence is a global crisis that affects millions. Around 1 in 3 women worldwide will experience physical or sexual violence in their lifetime most often by someone they know and trust. In Australia, 1 in 4 women have experienced violence by an intimate partner since age 15.
Tragically, domestic violence is still the leading reason women and children flee their homes and every year, dozens of Australian women lose their lives to gendered violence.
At Cycle Breaker Mission, we stand with survivors and work to break this cycle for good.
