Our core strategies
Awareness 
Lucy’s Project raises awareness of the link between family/ domestic violence and animal abuse. We do this both amongst the general public and within the government and non-government organisations tackling the domestic and family violence crisis in Australia.
Advocacy
Lucy’s Project advocates for the animal victims of family/ domestic violence in order to also protect the human victims of family and domestic violence. We do this in a number of ways.
Action
We offer direct consulting services to domestic violence organisations (and others) who are seeking to improve the outcomes for people with animals and be innovators in the field.
We work with organisations who need assistance understanding animal issues or requiring referrals to further support.
Speaker and consulting requests
Raising awareness about the link between domestic violence and animal abuse is part of our core work. To learn more about the issues, hear a presentation at your school, University, conference or place of work, to up-skill your organisation, help build your network or get a project for animals off the ground email info@lucysproject.com
