This website is for people working to promote gender equality and prevent violence against women – whether in specialist roles, or through their work in businesses and organisations, the media, sport, or educational settings. 

It includes an introduction to key concepts in the prevention of violence against women, further tools and resources and professional development opportunities – including training, webinars and communities of practices.

The success of Australia’s efforts to prevent violence against women depends in part on the size and strength of an expert, national primary prevention workforce and the capacity of this workforce to plan, implement, scale-up, monitor and evaluate primary prevention initiatives.
