General Workshops
Designed for health, allied health, higher education, childcare, and community frontline workers in Australia, the General DV-alert workshop enables participants to recognise the signs of domestic and family violence, respond appropriately and refer to appropriate services.
During the two-day practical workshop, you'll learn how to:
- recognise the signs of domestic and family violence,
- respond to someone subjected to domestic and family violence, and
- what best practice methods should be used to refer people on to the most appropriate support service.
To be eligible to attend, participants must work or volunteer in the health, allied health, community, higher education, childcare frontline capacity supporting the general community.

TestImonials
The best aspects of the training were..."the resources, that is; the workbook, videos, stories, presentation and the presenters. (My confidence has increased to) recognise the signs of DFV, being able to respond appropriately and provide appropriate referral services if consented. An excellent course, honestly one of the best I’ve attended. Thank you so much!’
