SUMMARY:It Starts with Us Screening
DESCRIPTION:Two in five Australian children are exposed to family violence – but in Frankston\, a group of teenagers are rewriting that story. \nBig hART and Respect Victoria invite you to an event screening of It Starts With Us\, an uplifting 30-minute documentary that follows young people as they transform their own lives and community through the power of storytelling. Guided by family violence advocates\, including Rosie Batty\, they use art to unpack the social pressures that lead to gender-based violence. Their journey will move you\, inspire you\, and show you what’s possible when we believe in young people’s ability to lead change. \nFollowing the screening\, young people from Frankston will join Respect Victoria CEO Helen Bolton\, Productivity Commissioner and economist\, Dr Angela Jackson and School Principal Peter Langham in a panel discussion facilitated by Professor Kate Fitz-Gibbon. Together\, they will explore what prevention looks like\, when it works\, and how children and young people can contribute to shaping lasting change. \nRegister here \nMonday 1st December 2025 \nKino Cinema\, Collins St Melbourne \n10am-12pm

SUMMARY:Predominant Aggressor Misidentification - Supporting Women from Migrant and Refugee Communities | InTouch
DESCRIPTION:This webinar explores the unique barriers and challenges experienced by migrant and refugee victim-survivors who are wrongly identified as the predominant aggressor in family violence incidents. The session will unpack the drivers and systemic issues behind misidentification and highlight the impacts this has on victim-survivors.

The legal team will share legal insights and case stories. Reflections from a NOOR Survivor Advocate will provide a lived experience perspective. The session will also offer practical suggestions for strengthening culturally responsive practice for preventing and responding to misidentification across the sector. \nThis webinar is a joint initiative co-designed by teams across inTouch\, including Legal\, NOOR\, Recovery & Support\, Policy\, and Practice & Sector Development. \nIs this training for you?\n– Do you work in the community sector?\n– Do you support clients from migrant and refugee backgrounds experiencing family violence?\n– Would you like to strengthen your understanding of misidentification and culturally responsive practice? \nIf yes\, please register here using your organisational email address

SUMMARY:State Apology to the First Peoples of Victoria
DESCRIPTION:Victoria will take an important step towards addressing past injustices towards Aboriginal people and building a stronger\, united future\, with an apology to First Peoples to be made in the Victorian Parliament. \nThe apology is a key recommendation of Victoria’s nation-leading Yoorrook Justice Commission and was committed to in the first Treaty\, following the Statewide Treaty Act 2025 becoming law. \nThe Commission heard evidence that the colonisation of Victoria was marked by dispossession\, displacement and violence towards First Peoples. \nThe final report of the Yoorrook Justice Commission recommended an acknowledgement of the responsibility of predecessors for laws\, policies and practices that contributed to injustices against First Peoples in Victoria. \nThe Victorian Government has worked with the First Peoples’ Assembly to deliver the apology through the Treaty process. \nWatch the livestream here

SUMMARY:Addressing Social Determinants to Improve Safety and Outcomes for Young People | NAPCAN
DESCRIPTION:As we approach the end of the year\, a time when many families experience added pressure and when children and young people can be at increased risk\, it’s more important than ever to strengthen the systems that keep them safe\, connected\, and supported.\nNAPCAN’s webinar will explore how early\, culturally safe\, trauma-aware supports can change a young person’s trajectory long before they reach crisis point\, including contact with the youth justice system.\nThis session will unpack the social determinants that shape vulnerability\, from housing and education to mental health and disability access\, and highlight practical\, evidence-informed strategies to create safer and fairer pathways for young people. We’ll also centre lived experience and community perspectives to better understand what genuine early support looks like in practice. \n  \nRegister here
