Recipient story
The mother is experiencing family violence, has a daughter and financially reliant on her abusive partner.
Domestic & Family Violence
GIVIT
The client is a victim-survivor of family violence and the sole carer of her 5-year-old daughter. She is currently on a bridging visa and is not eligible for Centrelink income support. An intervention order with full exclusionary conditions has been put in place, and the perpetrator has been removed from the home. The client does not have a stable employment and earns a small, inconsistent income through Uber Eats deliveries using a bicycle. Due to Melbourne's weather conditions, and with her full-time caring responsibilities, she is can work limited hours, which is insufficient to meet their basic needs.
She has limited English and faces significant barriers to employment. She continues to rely on the person using violence to pay rent and bills, despite his own unstable income and the fact that he is also paying rent elsewhere. As a result, she remains financially dependent on him.
The client requires financial assistance and support with driving lessons to secure employment.
