Collaboration and partnerships are significantly important when supporting victim survivors of family violence. Wayss plays a key role in many partnerships in Southern Melbourne.
The Southern Melbourne Integrated Family Violence Partnership
The Partnership has strategic responsibility and accountability for supporting the necessary family violence reforms and integrating service delivery across the southern Melbourne region.
The Partnership aims to strengthen and improve responses to families who are experiencing family violence and subject to a child protection investigation.

Wayss in the 1990s
Then in September 1997 the organisation became WAYSS Limited with a Board of Directors and day to day management by the Chief Executive Officer.
Wayss underwent further transformation with the restructure of community housing and the funding of the Transitional Housing Management (THM) program. The Regional Housing Council ceased operation and transferred direct service operations to Wayss in 1997.
During this decade Wayss became responsible for the then South East Women’s Domestic Violence Outreach Service. Funding was also received to establish a Children’s Services Worker within the outreach service. SAAP funded Women’s Outreach Program was also transferred to Wayss in 1999.
