Our Graduate Certificate in Domestic Violence Responses will allow you to apply risk assessment tools in actual cases and learn more about the impact of domestic violence on victims, carers and the community. You will gain skills in the prevention of violence and care during trauma as you study the risks and characteristics of domestic homicide and suicide.

With the unique specialisation in this important field, you will be fully prepared to provide insight to a range of services and programs working to intervene, prevent and respond to domestic and family violence. The Graduate Certificate in Domestic Violence Responses builds on integrated responses and whole-of-society efforts, regardless of where you work.

This qualification has been assessed as being an equivalent qualification for the purposes of the Mandatory Minimum Qualifications policy for employment in specialist family violence practitioner roles in Victoria.

"The course is built on scholarship, on what we know about how to prevent and reduce domestic violence and second, it's built directly on the advice and insight of domestic and family violence organisations." ~ Domestic Violence Responses - Michael Flood
