For more than 80 years, The Haymarket has been a locally owned and operated company in Ballarat. Greg, Ian, Philip, and Robert Taylor continue to run the family business. Proudly employing over thirty staff, we support many community events and clubs throughout the Ballarat region.
Originally trading as the Hancock Company, the business first began in 1943 and was located in Armstrong Street, opposite the new Government Hub site. We are now located at 112 Market Street on the corner of Doveton St Ballarat, as well as having a second outlet at 902 La Trobe Street Delacombe and the family farm at Camperdown-Lismore Road Lismore provides grain and hay for our produce department.
For domestic violence (DV) victims, access to a safe phone can mean the difference between life and death. Perpetrators often use phones to control and monitor their victims, leaving them isolated and without a secure way to keep in contact with friends and family or seek help.
At DV Safe Phone, we give your old phone a new purpose by helping DV victims stay connected, stay safe, and move forward towards a brighter future. We collect, repurpose and gift mobile phones to domestic violence (DV) victims. These ‘safe phones’ are a vital link to emergency services, support networks, and loved ones.
Our goal is to get a safe phone into the hands of every Australian DV victim who needs one. With over two million known DV victims in Australia, there is no doubt we have a significant challenge on our hands. However, we know that with your help, we can break down barriers to accessing vital help when it is needed most. You can play a vital role in ensuring every call for help is heard. Head here to learn more and get involved.
