Thank you to all our Colleagues

Each May, Queensland marks Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month (DFVP Month) to raise community awareness of domestic and family violence and to send a clear message that domestic and family violence in families and homes will not be tolerated.

Domestic and family violence does not discriminate against race, age, socio economic status, bushfires, floods or pandemics. COVID-19, coming in the aftermath of horrific bush fires has created a whole new challenge for everyone as people are isolating and required to stay home which means being forced to stay in close confines with their abuser with little reprieve. There is less opportunity for support outside of the home, and already we are hearing of some perpetrators using the actual virus as a form of control and abuse. We already know that the rates of D&FV are increasing and will do so, drawing on evidence from China and elsewhere.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our colleagues who are working with survivors of domestic and family violence, thank you for your commitment, dedication, passion and tenacity, particularly during these stressful time.

Resources to assist in providing information, services and support for people impacted by Domestic and Family Violence can be found here.
