Support for participating sites

Professor Kelsey Hegarty, Director, Centre for Family Violence Prevention, University of Melbourne and The Royal Women’s Hospital, is overseeing the project and will provide expert support to hospitals and health services. Dr Minerva Kyei-Onanjiri from the University of Melbourne is managing the project; she will provide advice and support to participating hospitals and health services, and assist them to navigate the implementation of the SAFE/SAFE Lite Tool.

The SAFE Research Team from the University of Melbourne will also guide participating sites in completion of ethics approval – it is anticipated this will be in the form of quality assurance/audit/evaluation activity rather than a full ethics application.

Participating hospitals will receive $5,000 to support staff to implement the System Audit Tool in their hospital.
