Work with us

At Safe and Equal, we are: 

• accountable, act ethically and have integrity. 
• independent, expert and trusted. 
• curious and courageous, we learn, and from this we create opportunities. 
• creating our own future. 
• striving for gender equity and a socially just world. 

Intersectional feminism is at the foundation of who we are and how we work; it is the primary framework we use to deepen our understanding of the family violence evidence base, build coalitions and partnerships, and engage in critical reflection. 

Safe and Equal is a product of the action, leadership and expertise of the practitioners, victim survivors and leaders who have come before us. As we renew our commitment to change, we know that collaboration and partnership will be key to achieving our vision for a world beyond family and gender-based violence, where women, children and people from marginalised communities are safe, thriving and respected. 

Our key priorities include: 

1. Developing Practice and supporting workforces 
2. Strengthening and connecting organisations, sectors and systems 
3. Building momentum for social change 
4. Building a strong peak organisation 

For more information on our strategic priorities and history, read our Strategic plan 2021-2024.
