Congrats to @VickiWardMP on your appointment as Victoria's Minister for Prevention of Family Violence. We look forward to working together to prevent #familyviolence. Thank you to @RosSpenceMP for all your work in this important portfolio.

Whatever the result this weekend, there is never an excuse for family violence. Using violence is a choice. #liftyourgame #NoToViolence #Footy

We've joined other Central Victorian not-for-profits in calling for truthful debate, respect for First Nations strength and resilience, and highlighting the sensible benefits the Voice Referendum can achieve. bendigoadvertiser.com.au/story/8364441/…

CNV has joined 5 local orgs to write a letter about the referendum, speaking to our concerns about the harmful narratives occurring + the opportunity to heal some of the harm that First Nation peoples have endured due to colonisation: cnv.org.au/open-letter

.@WESNETAustralia's Technology Safety Summit - Australia’s only national conference on technology and violence against women - is coming up on 16-17 October in Melbourne.

Limited relationship experience makes it hard for young people to identify red flags for intimate partner violence, especially more subtle forms of control like technology-facilitated abuse. 🚩 theconversation.com/7-red-flags-yo…

Each year, #familyviolence incidents increase on AFL & NRL grand finals weekends. But these spikes are not due to alcohol. There is no excuse for violence, if your footy team loses, or you've had too much to drink. Simply put, violence is a choice. sbs.com.au/news/article/w…

Australia is experiencing a family violence crisis. Yesterday, the Federal Government released its first Action Plan to end the crisis and wipe out gender-based violence within a generation. abc.net.au/news/2023-08-1…

Yesterday we welcomed the Hon @ColinBrooksMP Minister for Housing and Multicultural Affairs to discuss the newly announced Regional Housing Fund, and advocate for the needs of families we support.

Our submission highlights the experiences of those seeking safety and wellbeing from family violence, and the housing crisis's impacts on our clients in decision-making around their journey from family violence. #HW2023 Read our submission here: ow.ly/oO3750PtIsE

Soaring rents, low vacancy rates, and interest rate rises are pushing housing affordability to an all-time low. The situation is only getting harder for women and children seeking safety, wellbeing and a life free from violence. #HW2023 *Source: ow.ly/rUNO50PtHGO

Homelessness Prevention Week starts today. Family violence is the leading cause of homelessness for women & children in Australia, and housing is a significant consideration for every woman we support. #HW2023 *Source: ow.ly/xL3B50PtHt1

We welcome the much-needed investment in social and affordable housing in regional Victoria. It won't solve the housing crisis but it's a step in the right direction.

It's time to address the gaps in the Family Law system. We endorse @WLSAnetwork's submission to the Family Law Amendment Bill 2023. Read more here: wlsa.org.au/2023/06/23/inq…

Thanks @GreaterBendigo for hosting a beautiful flag raising ceremony to commemorate #NAIDOC2023. This year's theme is #ForOurElders, recognising the important role elders play in our communities and families.
