Improving our approach This conference will provide people developing domestic violence policy and delivering domestic violence programs with practical guidance on what they can do to move us closer to ending domestic violence.
The conference will focus on:
• Primary prevention • Early intervention • Response
Special attention will be paid to high risk groups like Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander women, women from CALD communities and women with disability.
Delegates will leave the conference with the most up-to-date information and a better understanding of the most effective approaches to the above areas.
With momentum building in this area (VIC Royal Commission, SA inquiry, QLD Taskforce, Senate Inquiry) the time is right to explore the practical things we can do to move closer to ending domestic violence.
