About the workshop

This course has been developed by Our Watch and is based on Change the story, Australia’s national framework to prevent violence against women and their children. Our Watch is a national leader in the primary prevention of violence against women and their children in Australia. For more information on Change the story visit the Our Watch website.

What does this workshop cover?

The prevalence and impacts of violence against women
The link between gender inequality and violence against women
What primary prevention of violence against women is
The evidence on what drives violence against women
The actions required to prevent violence against women and the role that everyone can play in prevention
Applying an intersectional approach to primary prevention work
Good-practice examples of primary prevention activities
Our Watch’s role in leading the primary prevention of violence against women across Australia.

Please note: this training is not about how staff can respond to women who experience violence or men who perpetrate violence. Women’s Health Victoria recommends that workplaces also provide staff with training on how to respond to colleagues who are experiencing gendered violence and sexual harassment such as Women’s Health Victoria’s Bystander Action and Safe and Supported training.

Who should attend?

Everyone will benefit from understanding the Change the story, Australia’s national framework to prevent violence against women and their children. It is especially beneficial as an introductory session for workplaces seeking to implement the Workplace Equality and Respect Standards.

When is the next workshop?

This workshop is delivered to a specific workplace and can be delivered at Women’s Health Victoria’s training centre or onsite by arrangement.

We recognise that sovereignty was never ceded and that we are beneficiaries of stolen land and dispossession, which began over 200 years ago and continues today.
