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.

LATEST NEWS: WEAVERs teaching our medical students

Another cohort of our WEAVERs members have had their first experience embedding lived expertise into the teaching of medical students, helping them learn to identify, engage, and assist victim-survivors of domestic, family, and sexual violence.

We look forward to expanding this important initiative to nurse practitioner, dental, and social work students.
