\nThe Aboriginal Family Legal Service Southern Queensland – which provides legal assistance to victims of domestic violence in Cherbourg and Murgon as well as right across southern Queensland – has a new home and a new management structure.<\/p>\n

The service was previously auspiced by Maranoa Regional Council but an indigenous Board of Directors has now been put in place.<\/p>\n

Their new office, in Roma, will be officially opened on Friday (August 22).<\/p>\n

\u201cOur new structure of community control embeds principals of culturally appropriate services in all that we do, from service delivery to how we manage our affairs,\u201d CEO Nick Thompson said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s integral that we are a culturally appropriate and accessible service to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander victims of domestic and family violence across Southern Queensland.\u201d<\/p>\n

Corporation chairperson Susan Klein said Aboriginal women were 31 times more likely than non-indigenous women to be hospitalised as a result of violence and 15 times more likely to seek assistance from homelessness services to escape domestic and family violence.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur service has a great deal of work to do to prevent violence in indigenous communities and support victims of violence,” she said.<\/p>\n

“Our organisation is ready to take up this challenge across South Western Queensland and the South Burnett.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
