Safety House is a community based program providing a safer environment for our children and citizens. Safety House has grown directly from the concerns of parents for the safety of children and other vulnerable members of the community.

The program was first introduced in the North Dandenong area of Victoria in 1979 and is now operating successfully in most states and territories. The program has been in operation in the ACT since 1993 and covers around 43 suburbs across Canberra.

Safety House is about a person's safety. It enables people to identify a Safe House where they can seek refuge, should they feel unsafe, threatened or unsure.

The Safety House logo, a smiling house on a yellow background is chosen to represent a warm, friendly place that is easily identified. A Safety House is a place where assistance will be provided to anyone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The first thing required of a Safety Householder is COMMUNITY SPIRIT, and you must have it, because you are here!
