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.

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.
