For domestic and family violence and community legal agencies

Services for the agencies that keep survivors safe.

Since 2022 we have worked alongside 67 domestic and family violence agencies across Australia and completed more than 1,000 digital safety audits with the people they support. Each service on this page began as something our own casework needed. We now offer all four to agencies directly.

01 · IT service management

When the person using violence ran the IT.

Small businesses usually get their email, files and phones set up by whoever in the household is good with computers. When that person is the one using violence, they often keep the administrator account after the relationship ends. With it, they keep the business.

Our advisory to case workers on business Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace accounts sets out what that access means. An administrator can read and change email, view or delete files, and control company phones and laptops. On some business phone accounts, whoever controls the account can record calls. Changing a password removes none of it.

These are not hacks. They are the business's own systems, working as designed for the wrong person.

We take that control back, rebuild the business's IT so it belongs to the owner, and stay on only if the owner wants us to.

Who does the work. Min, our Technology Lead, has spent the better part of a decade as IT partner to domestic violence and women's health organisations, across Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Azure and cyber security. Andrew brings thirty years as a CTO and CIO across government, defence and health.
StageWhat we doGap it addresses
SecureTake back administrator control. Remove the person using violence from accounts, devices, recovery options and delegated access.Ongoing access to the business's email, files, phones and calls.
Transform and moderniseRebuild the setup to current best practice, with administrator accounts the owner holds, multi factor sign in, managed devices and backups under the owner's control.A business built around one person's control.
AssessSecurity assessments matched to the business and its sector, with findings the owner can act on.No independent view of what was exposed, or what remains.
ManageIf the owner wants itLonger term IT management and support through our service desk.No trusted IT partner once the immediate risk has passed.

The owner decides how far this goes. Some need access removed and a clean handover. Others want us to stay on as their IT provider.

For your agency: with the owner's consent, refer them through our contact form and choose IT Service support as the topic. Case workers can read the advisory in the Case Worker Hub.

02 · Trauma informed AI

AI that is safe for someone disclosing harm.

AI is arriving in intake forms, chat services and case notes. Most of it has been tested for accuracy and general safety. Very little has been tested for the moment a person discloses abuse to it.

A response can be polite and accurate and still be unsafe. It can push a disclosure faster than the person is ready for, offer reassurance the facts do not support, or miss the point at which a human needs to step in.

We wrote the measure for that moment, built a safety layer on it, and work with services to decide where AI belongs in their own processes.

The framework is free and open. You do not need to buy anything from us to use it.

The framework

The TIAF

The Trauma Informed AI Safety Benchmark and Assurance Framework, version 1.1, published 21 August 2026.

  • 18 safety principles an AI system can be scored against.
  • A four level harm severity scale, from S0 critical to S3 low. One critical or high severity failure on the critical set fails a release.
  • A benchmark of 187 test items drawn from digital safety audits, generated reports and risk assessment.
  • Ten procurement questions (Annex A) for agencies buying an AI product, with no benchmark to run.

Conformance is declared or verified by the organisation itself. No one, including us, certifies it. We are developing the framework further with the University of Canberra, and case workers on our research panel rate AI responses against it.

The safety layer

HarmWise Pre-pilot

A safety layer that a public facing AI service calls when someone discloses harm. It responds safely, refers the person to the right human service, and keeps a sealed record of what was detected, what was said and where the person was referred.

HarmWise is built on the TIAF and runs its validators unchanged. It is in pre-pilot. If your service, or an organisation you work with, is planning an AI deployment that people may disclose to, we would like to hear from you.

For your service

Process optimisation

We work with your team to find where AI could take administrative load off case workers, such as intake summaries, triage, notes and reporting, and where it should not be used at all. Anything we recommend is designed inside trauma informed practice and tested against the TIAF before anyone relies on it.

03 · Case management

A case management platform built for this work.

We built our platform to run our own service: referrals from agencies, risk at intake, appointments, device work, outcomes reports and reporting to funders. Every case we take on runs through it.

We now offer it to domestic and family violence and community legal agencies that need the same things, as a platform designed around this work rather than a generic CRM adapted to it.

Built for sensitive records. Client PINs and passwords are encrypted with AES-256-GCM. Client portal access codes are stored so that nobody at the Centre can read them, and portal sessions time out after 30 minutes.

ComponentWhat it does
Case recordsEach case has its own reference, with role based access and separate case data access groups.
Privacy modeMasks client names across the workspace.
Risk at intakeA structured risk intake that sets an intake risk rating, with room for case workers to upload an existing risk assessment.
Bookings and client portalOnline booking with Teams links, SMS reminders and a waitlist. Clients reach their own portal with a case reference and access code.
Tickets and queuesEnquiries and service requests routed to queues with service levels.
Outcomes and reportingOutcomes reports, Theory of Change surveys, service metrics and a generated service report for funders.
Billing and fundingQuotes, billing and confirmation of agency funding.
Audit logA record of activity across the platform.
04 · Case Worker Hub

A members' space for case workers.

The Case Worker Hub is where we share what we learn with the people who need it first. It is open to domestic, family and sexual violence case workers, police, community legal workers and others who support survivors.

Sign in is by an emailed link, with no password to remember. We do not accept personal email addresses, and we review sign ups by hand, so the Hub stays a professional space.
