Domestic and Family Violence Response Training (DV-alert) is designed to build capacity in frontline workers within universal services for whom family violence is not a core function of their role.

Learn how to:

• recognise the signs of domestic and family violence
• respond with appropriate care
• refer effectively to support services

We are committed to ending violence against women and their children,  dedicated to empowering frontline workers and volunteers to respond confidently to those in crisis. We deliver expert domestic violence response training with care and compassion in a safe space where workshop participants can learn, connect and share.  All DV-alert training is FREE, funded by the Department of Social Services and free for eligible frontline workers.
