DV-alert Learning Pathways
DV-alert offers three distinct learning pathways for learners to achieve national accreditation. Successful completion of any of the following pathways leads to a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment for the unit of competency CHCDFV001 Recognise and respond appropriately to domestic and family violence:
- Assessment Pathway
- eLearning Courses (self-paced online learning)
- 2-Day First Nations Workshop (RA3 - RA5)
This unit of competency is included in many training packages, certificates and diplomas. For more information about qualifications that include this unit of competency, visit training.gov.au.
Assessment Pathway
The Assessment Pathway is designed for frontline workers, paid and volunteer, in health, allied health, education, and community sectors who provide services and support to the community.
Steps to Complete the Assessment Pathway

Once all the above components are successfully completed, learners can enrol in the Assessment session. After satisfactory completion of the assessments, learners will receive a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment for the unit of competency CHCDFV001 Recognise and respond appropriately to domestic and family violence.

-
Assessment 1: Knowledge Questions
-
Assessment 2 & 3: Small group activity which are completed with a DV-alert trainer/assessor face-to-face.
Learners who successfully complete the assessment within the 2-day workshop will receive the nationally recognised Statement of Attainment for the unit of competency CHCDFV001 Recognise and respond appropriately to domestic and family violence.
