Starick

At Starick, we're committed to supporting LGBTQI+ individuals impacted by family and domestic violence, and to fostering a workplace where diversity is respected and celebrated.

Our services are grounded in dignity, inclusion and understanding - because everyone deserves to feel safe, seen and supported.

We stand with the LGBTQI+ community this Pride Month and beyond.

This week, Starick’s Respectful Relationships Teaching Support Team partnered with our youth programs, Thriving Through Connection and Moorditj Koolangah, to co-deliver an interactive activity for Year 10–12 students at the Sevenoaks Senior College Expo.

The expo brought together a range of local services, with the shared goal of connecting students with support services available within their community.

We engaged students in conversations about gender stereotypes and the assumptions we often make, and provided a brief overview of the supports and programs we offer.

Taraneh was a resident at our refuge. We have changed her name to protect her identity.

Taraneh escaped a violent husband before being abused and mistreated by her extended family. She was deprived of food and privacy and sometimes had to sleep in the park. When Taraneh arrived at our refuge she was in very poor health.

Starick supported her by finding accommodation, advocating for her and providing emotional support, making referrals to health service providers, Centrelink and counselling.

Family and domestic violence remains a national crisis. With rising living costs and housing pressures, Starick Services’ resources can only stretch so far.

At Starick, we are proud to support women and children in the south-east metropolitan corridor as they rebuild their lives, open their first bank accounts, secure employment, and find hope again after leaving unsafe environments.

Our team works tirelessly to support those currently in our care, but the demand for Starick’s services continues to grow.

Starick cannot do this alone. Be part of the change. If you are able, please donate today - every dollar makes a difference. Because together, we are stronger.
