About the Our Watch Institute

Turning commitment into action

The Our Watch Institute is part of Our Watch , Australia’s national leader in preventing violence against women and their children. 

We work with businesses and universities nationwide to create cultures that prevent harm before it happens.

1 woman every 9 days

On average, one woman is killed every 9 days by a current or former partner.

Violence against women is preventable. We know that what happens in the workplace shapes our communities.

That’s why every Australian business has a vital role to play in ending gender-based violence.
