Why invest in workplace DFV training

DVConnect can support your team to recognise and respond to disclosures of abuse at work in a safe and supportive way (without stepping into the role of personal support worker).
Our training will also support your team to know how to access specialist services like DVConnect. You are not alone.
How domestic and family violence impacts the workplace
Domestic and family violence doesn’t discriminate. DFV can happen to anyone regardless of their job title, where they work, or what their qualifications are.
According to the ABS, approximately 800,000 women, or around 1 in 6 female workers are currently experiencing domestic or family violence.
Domestic and family violence may impact the workplace through decreased staff performance and productivity, and increased staff turnover and absenteeism. Data shows that domestic and family violence costs the Australian economy billions. Access Economics estimated the total cost of lost productivity at work was $484 million in 2002-03.
With more staff working from home during the pandemic, domestic and family violence is more of a workplace issue now than ever before.
