About us

Founded in 1990, Shine is a leading specialist family violence service provider in New Zealand. 

Shine is an acronym that stands for Safer Homes in New Zealand Everyday. This name – and our aims in addressing family violence – are hopeful, positive and optimistic.

We directly help thousands of adults and children who experience abuse every year to become safer through our frontline services; and we indirectly help thousands more through our education and training programmes and our partnerships, particularly in the health and justice sectors.

We provide a range of education and training programmes throughout Aoteraroa New Zealand, that aim to create a collective response to this massive social problem. These include training in the health and justice sectors across the motu, bespoke family violence training packages for specific purposes or audiences, as well as DVFREE and Shine RESPOND.

DVFREE is designed to help workplaces provide a sustainable, best-practice response to family violence that exceeds legal obligations.

Shine RESPOND is a family violence response training programme designed specifically for community professionals, family violence practitioners, social agencies, and organisations that serve communities.
