Family violence is when a partner, family member or ex uses threatening, controlling or violent behaviour that makes you feel scared or afraid. Family violence is not just physical violence. It can involve many harmful, abusive behaviours. No matter what form it takes, family violence is never acceptable.

If you are experiencing abuse, there is support available. The services on the flyer and on the Are You Safe at Home? website can help. They can work with you to explore your options to keep you and your family safe.

If you are in immediate danger, call the police on triple zero (000). If you need an interpreter or translator, call the National Translating and Interpreting Service on 13 14 50 and ask them to contact the support service.

PiP Seminar – Learning from change: Embedding effective evaluation into prevention practice

Held on 11 February 2020, this seminar provides an insight into the challenges that primary practitioners face in evaluating and monitoring their projects. A curated panel of evaluation experts and prevention practitioners explore some of the most pressing questions that practitioners ask about the evaluation process:

Why is robust evaluation important to PVAW projects? And how does it support practitioners’ learning and amplify project impact?
How do practitioners move beyond a simple ‘box ticking’ approach and fully embrace project evaluation to facilitate learning and initiate transformative change?How do practitioners balance the need for robust evaluation with limited funding, time and capacity?
How do practitioners ensure their evaluation approach is feminist and intersectional?
