DV-Alert is a two-day training opportunity for people working in frontline community services sector positions and for education, health and allied health professionals to enable them to recognise, respond and refer potential clients that may be going through domestic and family violence.
Those who would benefit include students studying social welfare, law, medicine and other fields that may involve contact with the Aboriginal community.
