Identifying and Responding to Family Violence Managers’ Training Package: The purpose of this package is to support facilitators with the delivery of the ‘Identifying and Responding to Family Violence’ training to managers of health and community services. It was designed for the Western Metropolitan Region and includes specific information on referrals and responses for this region. However the training principles are based on best practice in identifying and responding to family violence and may therefore be easily adapted for other Metropolitan Regions in Victoria. The Package includes: Training Outline, Facilitator’s Guide, PowerPoint Slides and Participant Handbook.

A needs assessment conducted by local Primary Care Partnerships/PCPs in April 2014 across Melbourne’s north and west metropolitan region revealed that a large number of frontline staff from health services were not well prepared to recognise the signs of family violence, due to a lack of policies and procedures in place and limited or no training. The Identifying and Responding to Family Violence Project is a 5 year regional project which aims to improve early intervention responses to family violence by building the capacity of health and community services to identify and respond appropriately.
The Buloke Family Violence Prevention Project was developed for the rural communities of the Buloke Shire; Sea Lake, Wycheproof, Charlton, Donald, Birchip, Berriwillock, Culgoa, Nullawil, Nandaly and Watchem. Between 2016 and 2017, the number of family violence incidents reported in the Buloke Shire increased by 11.6%. Recognising family violence as a serious health and wellbeing issue that affects the local community, the SMPCP Buloke Strategic Health and Wellbeing Partnership 2017 – 2021 Action Plan identified preventing family violence as a key priority area. Being an isolated rural community, it is important that Buloke community members have the opportunity to participate in primary prevention initiatives locally.
