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: International Women’s Day
On March 8, 2025 we celebrate International Women's Day. The UN theme "Women's Empowerment" calls us to break down the systemic barriers holding women back - including the plague of domestic, family and sexual violence.
On #IWD2025, we recommit to the empowerment of all women and girls by continuing to integrate their lived expertise to build evidence and training for transforming the health sector responses to abuse and violence. We hope our work amplifies survivors' voices and defends every woman's fundamental right to be safe from violence.
