LET'S DRIVE CHANGE
Workplace programs have been designed to empower businesses and government departments to be part of the solution to end Domestic and Family Violence. Challenge DV understands workplaces can be powerful places for change and can play an active role in driving DFV prevention. We offer a suite of workplace education programs, assist with DFV policy development, and work to educate managers and staff to recognise the signs of DFV and respond appropriately.
Challenge DV designs and delivers a range of content training programs for your workplace, tailored to your needs, goals, audience and internal supports. This includes targeted training programs relevant to specific roles, online modules that allow participants to learn at their own pace, in-person and virtual group workshops, and 1:1 coaching for key personnel. Covering essential domestic and family violence topics, our programs are underpinned by tested and proven frameworks and are continually updated to reflect the latest research and trends. They are delivered by experienced, qualified and committed facilitators who are trauma informed and bring decades of expertise in domestic and family violence prevention. We limit group sizes to ensure each participant has a voice and can take part in a psychologically safe way.
We understand that while domestic and family violence prevention is what we do every day, many organisations appreciate some guidance when it comes to cultural initiatives. Challenge DV provides comprehensive assessments of organisational culture, strategic advice on policy, and ongoing pathway support, working closely with organisations to create safer, more inclusive environments that prioritise proactive response to domestic and family violence.
We assess existing capability statements, initiatives and culture maturity, identifying strengths and areas for improvement. This gives organisations a robust launchpad for building a culture that prioritises safety and respect.
From developing internal communication strategies to providing the tools needed to enhance staff awareness and readiness, we guide organisations in implementing best practices for domestic and family violence response.
Armed with changemaking capabilities, we offer policy review and development, incorporating end-to-end best practice methodology and relevant legislative requirements that align with state and national domestic violence priorities. More than just compliance, our policy guidance focuses on building practical, effective strategies and entrenching a safe, supportive and inclusive culture where people can truly thrive.
We offer scheduled check-ins, updates and refresher sessions as required, ensuring continuous guidance and support based on agreed needs.
Using our market leading Recognise, Respond and Refer framework, we provide a broad overview of what domestic and family violence is, why we need to address it, and the breadth of its impact, plus how to offer support to someone who may be impacted. Our eLearning is accessible, engaging, interactive and regularly updated. Elements of the content can be tailored for Australian and international markets. The modules are offered at a competitive rate over a 12-month subscription period.
We offer bespoke programs to enhance your organisation’s capability to respond to domestic and family violence, embed awareness, reduce stigma, and entrench a safe and supportive workplace culture. Our consulting service, known as Challenge Zero, is a five-step model guiding sustainable cultural change and supporting continuous improvement to cultivate the maturity of workplace enablers. It begins with an initial assessment of your existing workplace health and safety practices, then, using supporting tools and resources, we work hand-in-hand to develop a customised action plan that targets areas of growth. We bring your leaders and teams on the change journey, resulting in solutions that work for them.

Share the Dignity
"Fantastic job"
"The team was extremely complimentary of Tess's delivery style. The appreciated her vulnerability, but also the way she was able to lift the spirit of the room when some of the content felt a little heavy. She did a fantastic job - thank you." - Cromwell Property Group
"Attending the session was well spent"
"Paul's facilitation of this session was great. Paul made discussing a difficult topic easy. Paul stretched my thinking on DFV and I felt my time attending the session was well spent." - Australian Government | Department of Health
"I feel more comfortable and confident"
"I feel more comfortable and confident addressing issues/instances of DFV and also apply the knowledge regarding gender equality in the workplace. Before, I didn't understand the huge impact that gender inequality has on influencing/facilitaing DFV so although I haven't had to deal with people effected by DFV and therefore can't help them, there is still something I can do to help prevent it." - QLD Ambulance Service
"Great to know this issue is being highlighted"
"Thanks for a fantastic training session. Confronting topic, but great to know that this issue is being highlighted and people experiencing D & FV have options for fantastic supports. You should be very proud." - PWC
"If one person can be helped from the training it is worth it"
"I really enjoyed attending this training, I believe everyone could get something out of knowledge around the subject. If one person can be helped from the training it is worth every min. The presenter was very calming and easy to listen to this always helps." - Rio Tinto
