PVAW and gender equity training offered by other organisations

Training and other learning opportunities are regularly offered by a number of organisations in Victoria besides women’s health services. This training is useful as PD for PVAW workers as well as for organisations looking for particular training or workshops in primary prevention or response.

Organisationally endorsed training

Some organisations offer training packages and require trainers endorsed by them to deliver standard (quality) content. These training packages include:

Our Watch has consolidated and built on existing initiatives to produce a package of evidence-based standards and tools to support workplaces to take action to prevent violence against women. Our Watch is endorsing trainers who can demonstrate their knowledge of Change the Story and its application
