MARAM
Training
In Victoria, the Family Violence Multi-Agency Risk Assessment and Management (MARAM) Framework is used to ensure all services are effectively, collaboratively and consistently responding to family violence risk.
No matter where a victim survivor engages with support services, it’s critical that there is an appropriate, consistent, capable response.
Safe and Equal delivers training modules for practitioners who need to have an applied understanding of MARAM and information sharing in their roles. MARAM sets out the responsibilities of different workforces in identifying, assessing and managing family violence risk across the family violence and broader service system.
Not sure which course
is right for you?
There are five MARAM training modules targeted to each tier of prescribed organisations. Depending on your role within an organisation, you will learn about different responsibilities and practice guides to keep perpetrators in view and accountable and to promote the safety of victim survivors of family violence.
For further guidance on your alignment at an identification and screening level, check out the MARAM Responsibilities Decision Guide.

I think my practice with victim survivors will be smoother and more thoughtful as a result of this training. I was generally quite aware of the tools and major risk factors relating to family violence, but I believe the training has sharpened my understanding of the knowledge underpinning the MARAM framework tools and how to implement them well.
