SAFE AND EQUAL
MEMBER PORTAL
Welcome to the members only section
of the Safe and Equal website.
In 2021, DV Vic and DVRCV united to form Safe and Equal, the peak body for specialist family violence services supporting victim survivors in Victoria.
As your peak, Safe and Equal represents the specialist family violence sector and works with practitioners to bring grassroots issues into the public policy arena, coordinate and participate in advocacy and action to reform policy and improve the service system, and scale-up and embed practice development and innovation across the sector.
People working in Safe and Equal member organisations can access:
- Bulletins with sector updates, practice and policy information
- Forums, webinars and networking events
- Tools and resources
- Professional development aligned with family violence sector standards
- Communities of practice
We represent more than 80 organisations and individuals working to prevent and respond to family and gender-based violence.
For questions about your organisation’s membership, contact our Governance and Membership Officer.
