We research and collaborate to transform the health sector response to domestic, family and sexual violence
The Safer Families Centre
Our Centre is committed to transforming health sector policy and practice responses to domestic, family and sexual violence through research, training, support tools and evaluation. We collaborate internationally and locally with researchers, practitioners and our lived experience victim-survivor group (WEAVERs) to promote safety, wellbeing and healing of families.
