Safety planning
If you are thinking about leaving, or want to be prepared, a safety plan can help. 1800RESPECT can help you create one — call 1800 737 732 or visit their website.
Keep important documents (passport, birth certificate, bank cards) somewhere accessible or with a trusted person.
Have a bag packed with essentials — medication, phone charger, some cash, a change of clothes — that you can take quickly if needed.
Know the number of a trusted person you can call at any time.
If you use a shared device, clear your browser history after visiting support websites, or use private browsing mode.
Trust your instincts. If something feels unsafe, it probably is.
