Our mission is to empower your organisation to take informed action against domestic and family violence.
Why?
Domestic and family violence (DFV) is a complex, whole of society issue that requires a whole of society response. There has never been a more important time to ensure all systems within our society are equipped to deal with the challenges associated with domestic and family violence.
What we do
Our team specialises in individual domestic and family violence case consultations and the implementation of domestic and family violence strategies in the workplace, club or organisation. We offer tailored DFV policies and procedures, Management DFV education, DFV awareness sessions, workplace safety plans, online learning modules as well as linkages to local DV support services and private support options.
Our experienced Domestic Violence Consultants are committed to providing specialist advice to increase the safety and well-being of people in our community experiencing domestic violence. We also offer private support options for women, men and young people.
We acknowledge and honour all those who have tragically lost their lives because of domestic and family violence. The number of lives cut short is far too high and we are committed to doing our part to reduce this number.
DV Alliance acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today. We acknowledge the deep and lasting effects of colonisation on Indigenous people and the ongoing contribution it has to the disproportionately high rates of domestic and family violence experienced within indigenous communities.
