Springfield announced as new HOPE Hub site

The Crisafulli Government is delivering the first of three new HOPE Hubs to bolster support and resources for victim-survivors of domestic and family violence. 

The new hub will be established at Orion Springfield Central in early 2026, as part of a $7.8 million commitment over five years to establish three new HOPE Hubs across the State. 

Beyond DV, a community-based organisation, will operate the hubs and connect victim-survivors to wrap-around support, including trauma-informed programs and services, as well as social, health, housing, legal and financial supports. 

The expansion of HOPE Hubs delivers on the Government’s commitment to provide more support services for women and children recovering from domestic and family violence (DFV). Hubs in two other locations are set to open later in 2026–27. 

The announcement continues the Crisafulli Government’s commitment to protect victims of the domestic and family violence and hold perpetrators to account with other reform already underway including: 

• The rollout of a GPS tracker pilot program on high-risk DFV in Caboolture and Townsville.
• The introduction of Police Protection Directions that will allow police to immediately protect victims of DFV for 12 months, from January 1, 2026.
• Fast tracking the Domestic and Family Violence peak body and the creation of a sexual violence peak.
• Commissioning a study by ANROWS into misidentification in a DFV setting. 

Minister for the Prevention of Domestic and Family Violence Amanda Camm said the hubs would be located in shopping centres to reach a broader range of people needing safe and confidential support. 

“The three new hubs will replicate the success of the Hope Hub in Carindale, which has become a one-stop shop for recovery services,” Minister Camm said. 

“Shopping centres provide a safe and discreet access point for victim-survivors, helping to reduce the stigma associated with seeking help. 

“It’s a starting point for accessing a range of services, all aimed at helping women and children to get the support they need for recovery.

“These hubs are not just about providing services – they’re about creating communities where victim-survivors feel safe, supported and empowered to rebuild their lives. 

“Together, we can provide real and meaningful outcomes, ensuring Queenslanders have access to support in their darkest moments, and helping them build a stronger, safer future.”
