SUMMARY:Webinar: Language matters: Building respectful relationships with disabled clients*
DESCRIPTION:The language we use with clients has the power to support\, heal and empower. But words can also harm and dehumanise individuals. Although this is rarely intentional\, research consistently suggests that recipients of health and social support services often feel disempowered\, disrespected and excluded. \nTherefore\, it is critical we all reflect on the language we use. \nWhether we’re aware of it or not\, the language used in practice often reflects historical and contemporary ableism1\, colonialism and discrimination. As a result\, this language is often deficit-based and focussed on risk\, abnormality and impairment. This language is everywhere\, from policies\, procedures and systems to our everyday interactions with clients. \nUnfortunately\, this means particular groups\, such as disabled people\, are frequently framed through narratives that pathologise individuals and communities. \nThere are increasing calls from disabled people and advocates to challenge and change practice norms and assumptions\, promote genuine inclusivity and address the inequalities experienced by disabled people. In this work\, the views of disabled people must be centred. \nThis webinar will encourage you to reflect on the language you use in practice and provide practical tips so you can strengthen supports for disabled people. \nThis webinar will give you: \n\na better understanding of the ways ableism and other forms of discrimination are embedded in the mainstream social service sector and general society\nan increased awareness of how colonialism continues to influence practice language\, and how upholding Indigenous language sovereignty is central to self-determination\, cultural safety and collective healing and wellbeing\ninsight into the role language\, values and beliefs can play in building positive practitioner-client relationships and supporting positive disability identities\na chance to reflect on the language you use in practice and guidance on how to adopt language that affirms\, respects and benefits individuals.\n\nRegister here

SUMMARY:Understanding Resistance & Refusal in Family Law Matters | Family Law Pathways Network
DESCRIPTION:This training will help participants understand the points of interface between parental conflict and children’s experiences. \nChildren who refuse or resist spending time with a parent following separation are a common presentation in family law contexts. Many of these children not only resist contact with a parent but also reject attempts to repair the relationship\, often expressing strong and consistent opposition. \nThe overlap between high-conflict parenting and children’s refusal provides valuable insight into the refuse–resist dynamic\, offering a framework for understanding when and how intervention can be most effective. \nThis presentation focuses on the “how and why” of refuse–resist\, helping participants develop a deeper understanding of the psychological and relational mechanisms underpinning these dynamics\, as well as the consequences for children caught in ongoing interparental conflict. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Webinar: Promoting wellbeing in neurodivergent families | AIFS
DESCRIPTION:In Australia\, an estimated 1 in 5 people are neurodivergent – meaning their brains function\, learn and process information differently to the current social and cultural norm. Neurodivergent people can have a range of clinical diagnoses but can also self-identify without a clinical diagnosis. \n  \nNeurodivergence often runs in families\, and a growing number of parents are reporting that their child’s diagnosis led them to realise they were neurodivergent themselves. \n  \nIn neurodivergent families\, parents\, children and siblings often have to navigate the world in a different way\, not only with each other\, but also with those around them. This can impact both individual and family wellbeing. \n  \nResearch shows that interventions that target the mental health of both neurodivergent parents and their children can increase the whole family’s quality of life. Parents who are supported to understand how their brains and bodies work in different contexts\, as well as what they need\, will be more able to advocate for themselves and their families. \n  \nWhether you work with adult clients\, children or families\, this webinar will offer insight into how you can promote the strengths of neurodivergent parents so they can foster a better quality of life for the whole family. \n  \nThis webinar will give you: \n\nincreased understanding of the strengths of neurodivergent parents as well as the unique and complex challenges they can face\nstrategies you can use to foster communication\, connection and understanding in neurodivergent families\nguidance on how to take a whole-family approach to support the mental health and wellbeing of neurodivergent children.\n\n  \nPlease note\, this webinar will not provide information or guidance on conducting assessments for Autism Spectrum Disorder\, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or other neurodivergent presentations. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Training: Engaging Dads using Family Violence
DESCRIPTION:This training explores the damaging effects of children witnessing/experiencing violence and abuse and how to shift the focus of interventions to the father’s responsibility and accountability for safe parenting. \nThis training is underpinned by the current evidence base that has established an understanding of the gender drivers of men’s violence against women. Practitioners attending this training examine the understanding that the choice to use abuse includes the ways in which abuse and violence minimise and impact on the parenting of the victim-survivor. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Complimentary FDV Seminar: Preventing Domestic Abuse in Products & Services
DESCRIPTION:Perpetrators are exploiting everyday products and services to monitor\, control and harm people experiencing domestic and family violence. Any account\, app\, or smart device could be a weapon used to monitor\, isolate\, and control. \nMuch of this harm is unintentional; enabled by standard features\, account settings and service processes not designed with abuse risk in mind. For organisations with customer-facing systems\, the question is no longer if this is happening\, but whether you can see it\, stop it and respond safely. \nThe Hatchery is hosting a complimentary online seminar designed to bridge the gap between FDV expertise and corporate product design. We invite you to join the conversation on how organisations can embed safety-led thinking into their core infrastructure. \nDesigning to Disrupt: Preventing Domestic Abuse in Products and Services\n📅 Friday\, 6 February 2026\, 11am-12:30pm AEDT 💻 Online seminar \nRegister 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

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
