Safety
How we work with family & domestic violence in our practice.
At Progressive Therapeutic Collective, we understand that family and domestic violence (FDV) is a pervasive issue that can affect individuals in all types of relationships and across all genders.
However, we also recognise that FDV, often referred to as intimate partner terrorism or family annihilation, is predominantly a gendered crime.
The overwhelming body of evidence and statistics show that men are the primary perpetrators, with women being the most common victims and survivors.
We are committed to acknowledging these realities and providing compassionate, evidence-based support to all survivors of FDV.
Your safety matters to us

When emailing us, please let us know the safest way we can communicate with you and on what times/days (if you know).
We will work with you, to explore how we can work with you as safely as possible.
Pay the Rent & Mutual Aid
The Pay the Rent movement calls for non-Indigenous individuals and businesses to regularly contribute financially to Indigenous organisations as part of reparations and restorative justice. This movement aims to provide tangible support to Indigenous communities, addressing historical and ongoing injustices while fostering a sense of accountability and solidarity.
At Progressive Therapeutic Collective (PTC), we've been paying the rent since our inception four years ago.
Each year, we allocate 1% of our annual profit to The Westerman Jilya Institute for Indigenous Mental Health and another 1% to Decolonise Sex Work Australia, a Blak mutual aid fund for sex workers. As a white-owned business, we believe it’s crucial to acknowledge and address systemic injustices against Indigenous communities. Our commitment to mutual aid is about taking concrete actions to bring aboug meaningful and genuine social change.
