NHW Vic aims to create safer, more connected communities by educating people about how to protect themselves from crime and feel like part of their community.
It’s Crime Stoppers Day!
Every day, plenty of people post about crime or suspicious behaviour in local social media groups - but unless it’s reported, police might never know.
If it’s serious enough to post about, it’s serious enough to report.
Don’t just post it – report it online 🔗 https://t.co/LwlHruE2C6 or call 1800 333 000

Seen something dodgy?
A car cruising your street slowly?
Someone peeking into driveways?
Heard something you know isn’t right?
Sure, posting about it in a local group can be helpful. But unless you report it, nothing changes.
Take the extra step. Stay anonymous. Help police take action.
Don’t just post it – report it online 🔗 https://t.co/LwlHruDuMy or call 1800 333 000.

Only 66% of Australians realise that repeatedly criticising a partner to make them feel bad or useless is ALWAYS #domesticviolence. Domestic violence isn't just physical. Emotional abuse, financial abuse, coercive control is ALWAYS domestic violence.
