After driving 5,000 kilometres across the country to flee domestic violence, Sue (whose name has been changed to protect her privacy) is now living safely in south-west Western Australia.
The 52-year-old survivor, who has two jobs and a place to call home, is volunteering with the not-for-profit organisation that helped her get back on her feet.
Doors Wide Open is a peer-led support service based in the city of Bunbury that works with people recovering from and impacted by addiction, as well as those in need of emergency housing or food relief.
