1. Working together to achieve intergenerational change by
breaking the cycle of Indigenous family violence
The rates of Indigenous family violence have increased over the years
and the numbers are expected to grow if no action is taken to tackle
this issue. Even with different policies and programmes in place,
overcoming Indigenous family violence remains a challenge to the
nation. There presents a greater need to review existing strategies,
reflect on what has worked and design more effective solutions to
end Indigenous family violence in the country.
A part of The Social Change Summit, the Overcoming Indigenous
Family Violence Forum will serve as a platform for key stakeholders
to come together and address the critical issue, its causes,
consequences and possible solutions. This 2-day conference will
spark much needed conversation amongst stakeholders to design
effective measures, responses and support services with the ultimate
aim of eliminating Indigenous family violence in Australia.
By attending, delegates can expect to:
• Analyse challenges, strategies and policies involved in
overcoming Indigenous family violence
• Promote a cultural shift to pursue a long-term approach in
breaking the family violence cycle
• Explore solutions at all levels to more effectively tackle the
issue of Indigenous family violence
• Drive positive change by generating community awareness
about family violence
• Engage the community to create a future free from violence

2. According to a report by the National Council To Reduce Violence
Against Women And Their Children, the cost of violence against
women and children is estimated at approximately $13.6 billion*. In
particular, the estimated cost of violence against Indigenous women is
estimated to be at $2.2 billion in 2021-22*. These appalling numbers
do not include the total social economic cost in its entirety, and are
expected to increase if no further action is taken to address the issue of
indigenous family violence in Australia.
A part of The Social Change Summit, the Overcoming Indigenous
Family Violence Forum has been specially designed for key
stakeholders who have responsibility for designing and delivering
Indigenous family violence policies, programmes and services. This
2-day conference is a vital platform for all stakeholders to design
practical reforms and solutions that provide better support for the
victims of violence.
Join us in February 2016 and hear more about the following key topics:
• Engaging the community to be heard and work together towards
change
• Improving our approach in eliminating Indigenous family violence
• Focusing on primary prevention and early intervention as the way
forward
• Moving towards a violence-free Australia

Pre-Conference Workshop
PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP:
Building Cultural Competence in Family Violence Services
About
Family violence is one of the most serious and pressing social issues in
Australia that affects the nation regardless of their gender, age, ethnicity,
religion and race. While there are several programmes and services in
place to support victims of violence, many of these programmes do
not take into account cultural differences that exist amongst different
Australian communities.
Now more than ever, there is a greater need to build cultural awareness,
competence, and develop culturally appropriate services for a more
effective way to overcome family violence in Australia.
Attend this workshop to:
• Build on your skills in providing services to Aboriginal people in
ways that respect and support the diversity of Aboriginal Cultural,
and value the strengths in Aboriginal individuals, families and
communities
• Gain an understanding of Aboriginal cultures, nations protocols,
family and kinship systems, discrimination, myths and stereotypes
