Aviva Support Line

Aviva supports people of all ages, genders, ethnicities and sexual orientations who are experiencing or have experienced, family violence or sexual violence.

Aviva services include a 24-hour support line, individually tailored advice, advocacy and safety planning, access to budgeting services and information on legal, health and financial issues, plus a range of education programmes, and help to access support from other agencies.

While Aviva doesn’t operate a safe house, we can support you to access refuge or alternate emergency accommodation through other agencies. Aviva is a Canterbury-based, specialist family and sexual violence agency dedicated to making New Zealand Aotearoa violence-free. Our 24/7 support line offers free and confidential access to advice, advocacy and support for family and sexual violence.
