DV-alert, October 2015
Multicultural Workshop – 19-20 November, 2015 – Adelaide
Multicultural DV-alert workshops are delivered in partnership with recognised multicultural service providers around Australia.
Multicultural DV-alert workshops are for health, allied health and community frontline workers supporting multicultural communities in Australia.
One of the priorities of the National Plan to Reduce Violence Against Women and their Children is to ensure that services meet the needs of women and children experiencing violence. DV-alert aims to build the knowledge and capacity of community frontline workers to provide appropriate support to women and children in Australia.
