Domestic and Family Violence Response Training (DV-alert) is Lifeline’s free nationally recognised training program that enables health, allied health and community frontline workers to confidently:

• recognise the signs of domestic and family violence
• respond with appropriate care
• refer people experiencing or at risk of domestic violence to appropriate support services

DV-alert is funded by the Department of Social Services and is a key initiative under the National Plan to Reduce Violence Against Women and their Children 2010-2022.

As the DV-alert workshops and e-Learning courses are nationally recognised training, these streams are mapped out against the unit of competency CHCDFV001: Recognise and Respond Appropriately to Domestic and Family Violence.  Participants who successfully complete the training and assessment will receive a Statement of Attainment.

Please note we have limitations on the number of staff from one organisation that can participate in a workshop.  Please Contact Us and provide information about the workshop you are wishing to attend and how many staff you have that would like to participate and we will be able to respond accordingly.

You will need to complete both full days of the training in order to receive your Statement of Attainment
