According to a report by the National Council To Reduce Violence Against Women And Their Children, the cost of violence against women and children is estimated at approximately $13.6 billion*. In particular, the estimated cost of violence against Indigenous women is estimated to be at $2.2 billion in 2021-22*. These appalling numbers do not include the total social economic cost in its entirety, and are expected to increase if no further action is taken to address the issue of indigenous family violence in Australia. A part of The Social Change Summit, the Overcoming Indigenous Family Violence Forum has been specially designed for key stakeholders who have responsibility for designing and delivering Indigenous family violence policies, programmes and services. This 2-day conference is a vital platform for all stakeholders to design practical reforms and solutions that provide better support for the victims of violence. Join us in February 2016 and hear more about the following key topics:

• Engaging the community to be heard and work together towardschange

• Improving our approach in eliminating Indigenous family violence• Focusing on primary prevention and early intervention as the way

forward• Moving towards a violence-free Australia

Wednesday, 24 February 2016Pre-Conference Workshop

PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP:Building Cultural Competence in Family Violence ServicesAboutFamily violence is one of the most serious and pressing social issues in Australia that affects the nation regardless of their gender, age, ethnicity, religion and race. While there are several programmes and services in place to support victims of violence, many of these programmes do not take into account cultural differences that exist amongst different Australian communities. Now more than ever, there is a greater need to build cultural awareness, competence, and develop culturally appropriate services for a more effective way to overcome family violence in Australia. Attend this workshop to:

• Build on your skills in providing services to Aboriginal people inways that respect and support the diversity of Aboriginal Cultural, and value the strengths in Aboriginal individuals, families and communities

• Gain an understanding of Aboriginal cultures, nations & protocols,family and kinship systems, discrimination, myths and stereotypes
