Partnership
"The prevalence of family violence in Australia is shameful and unacceptable. We know that gender inequality is the main driver of family violence so we need to change attitudes to gender to stop violence before it occurs. It’s critical to work at individual, community and system level to make meaningful change."
FVREE
FVREE exists to support victim survivors and to disrupt the cycle of family violence. We work across the continuum of family violence which includes prevention, attitudinal change, education, intervention, support and recovery.
