One woman is killed nearly every week in Australia due to family and domestic violence and 1 in 4 children are exposed to violence at an early age.
One of the biggest challenges is the pervasive culture of silence and underreporting surrounding the issue. The intersections of violence and safety for families are complex which require a holistic and comprehensive approach.
Third Sector’s National Family Safety Summit is a pivotal event dedicated to tackling the pressing issues of family and domestic violence and child abuse in Australia. Assembled under one roof are professionals, experts, policymakers, advocates and community members that are committed to creating a safer environment for families across the nation. This summit serves as a platform to foster collaboration, share innovative practices and drive transformative change in the sector.
Implement strategies to accelerate First Nations cultural resilience and healing
Develop models for community engagement for collaborative outcomes
Advance policy advocacy and legal reform in the sector
Accelerate domestic violence survivor empowerment and support
Fast-track prevention and education for children and young people experiencing abuse

How delegates rated past events
This beautiful artwork is our connection to the lands,seas, waterways,skies and stars. Just like our ancestors who have paved the way before us, we must take care of the lands and of mother earth.
Highlighted is the meeting places and our Elders guiding, sharing and passing on knowledge. The white tracks as walking tracks used for thousands of years walking over country.
The smaller circles adjoining clans and communities. The ripple circles, our mountain ranges and the large dot cirlces camp sites we would gather for a short stay.
The large lines comimg into the meeting place is our connection to the waterways, both salt water and fresh.for drinking, hunting, gathering and playing.
We all need to respect our past, respect our Elders and respect each other as we all have a responsibility to care and look after this beautiful country.
