Who we are and what we do
What is WorkforceFDV
WorkforceFDV is Western Australia’s dedicated Family and Domestic Violence Workforce Entity. Our goal is to support and develop a workforce with the skills and knowledge to deliver safety-focused, informed and culturally appropriate responses to child and adult victim-survivors, and users of violence.
We work with the family and domestic violence workforces at an individual, organisation and system level to support their capability to respond to and reduce family and domestic violence in WA.
Our objectives
- Help the family and domestic violence workforce understand their roles and responsibilities at an individual, organisation and system level.
- Build an understanding of the strengths, gaps and opportunities of the workforce and use this to deliver workforce development.
- Support capability building through setting standards and facilitating access to high quality training.
- Collaborate with other organisations to support implementation and improve ways of working.
