DV-alert Cootamundra: General 2 day workshop for frontline workers

DV-alert is free, nationally accredited training to help frontline workers recognise the signs of domestic and family violence and know what to do next. Frontline workers hold a unique position of trust in the community and may be the first to see the signs.

Why DV-alert? DV-alert is led by experienced trainers dedicated to reducing violence against women and their children. Our workshops provide a safe space for frontline workers to learn, connect and be empowered to recognise and respond confidently to those in crisis. After successfully completing the workshop, you’ll receive a Statement of Attainment for the unit of competency CHCDFV001: Recognise and respond appropriately to domestic and family violence.

What will I learn? In attending our nationally accredited 2-day face-to-face workshops, you’ll learn how to:
RECOGNISE the signs of domestic and family violence
RESPOND confidently
REFER appropriately

Our workshops are run by our experienced trainers. There are three assessment tasks to complete during the workshop.

Who is it for? Workshops are open to frontline workers in Australia. This includes people who provide direct service and support, paid or unpaid, to the community in sectors like health, allied health, education, childcare and community.

Cost DV-alert training is funded by the Australian Government Department of Social Services. It is free for frontline workers. Financial support is also offered for staff backfill for attendance of the 2-day workshop or a 1-day specialist workshop, and help with travel and accommodation is available in some cases.
