Our research

Violence against women and children affects everybody. It impacts on the health, wellbeing and safety of a significant proportion of Australians throughout all states and territories and places an enormous burden on the nation’s economy across family and community services, health and hospitals, income-support and criminal justice systems.

Practice studios

Through a series of industry-led initiatives, aimed at strengthening the workforce and its practice, WorkUP is supporting enhanced quality and consistency in domestic and family violence service provision across the state.

ANROWS is leveraging knowledge translation and exchange expertise to facilitate the development and roll out of ‘practice studios’. Practice studios bring current evidence, research and knowledge to life in real world settings. Organisations hosting practice studios will lead the way in discovering what it takes to implement evidence in practice. Using action research, host services will take evidence based resources and strategies and ‘road test’ or refine them for implementation. Lessons learned and resources developed will be shared across the sector, so that the benefits can be amplified.

Activities undertaken

In 2019, WorkUP commenced initial engagement with stakeholders across the sector in ten locations across the state. The Designing, Driving and Leading change forums brought sector representatives together to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing the sector. Information generated from these forums will result in regional, and statewide strategic workforce plans.
