In the late 1980s a small group of women with an interest in community development placed an advertisement in the local media calling a meeting on interested persons to attend to discuss in particular the issues of safe housing and support for women and children experiencing domestic and family violence in the Redlands. Some 30 plus men and women attended the initial meeting with the outcome being the formation in 1989 of Redlands Domestic Violence Action Group. The group worked tirelessly as a strong advocate for the establishment of a domestic violence service in the Redlands. In order to promote its message it ran cake and craft stalls and did the catering for bush dances to fund raise.
The Redlands Domestic Violence Group Inc was incorporated under the Associations Incorporation Act 1991 on 8 January 1990 and 15 May 1990 was registered as a charity under the Collections Act 1966-1981.
On 2 May 2000 the Redlands Domestic Violence Action Group was renamed as the Redlands Domestic Violence Service (RDVS). It was registered from 1 July 2000 with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profit Commission (ACNC) as a Public Benevolent Institution (PBI) with Deductible Gift Recipient status.
