Brief Intervention Service (BIS) Brochure
Facilitated by Men’s Referral Service counsellors, the Brief Intervention Service (BIS) is a flexible, multi-session service that is designed to intervene at a point in time to address risk as men using violence begin the behaviour change journey by providing counselling support and referral options to assist men to get further support.
BIS focuses on providing short term multi-sessional telephone support for men who use family violence, men who are on a waiting list for family violence support (such as Men’s Behaviour Change Program) and men who are unable to access family violence support because of:
- Services are not readily available, and unable to take active referrals due to waitlists.
- Men who live in remote or regional areas.
- Men who have barriers to attend group programs.
- Men who are from non-English speaking background.
It is important to note that the Brief Intervention Service is not, and does not replace a men’s behaviour change program or groups.
Access to the Brief Intervention Service will be via:
- An internal referral from the Men’s Referral Service 1300 766 491 following an initial assessment by a telephone counsellors.
- A referral from other services for their clients:
