May marks Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month, a time to raise awareness, spark conversations, and reinforce that education is one of our most powerful tools in preventing violence before it begins.
This year, our theme is “Education is Prevention”. Through knowledge, we empower frontline workers, support services, and everyday individuals to recognise the signs of domestic and family violence, respond with care, and help create safer communities.

State the conversation:
Whether it’s at work, in your community, or online, your voice can help challenge stigma and promote awareness.
Let’s work together to prevent domestic and family violence – because the more we know, the more we can change.
