Tailored support
for your business
Every organisation is on its own journey when it comes to preventing gender-based violence. That’s why our services are designed to be flexible and grounded in evidence so you can turn insight into action.
We work with businesses and universities across Australia to strengthen existing initiatives or support you to embed prevention strategies for the first time. We’ll meet you where you are with expert guidance and practical tools.

Universities and higher education
We partner with universities and higher education institutions to prevent gender-based violence across campuses and in student accommodation.
From executive leadership teams to university students and implementation staff, we offer tailored online or in-person training that builds capability at every level.
To support institutions in strengthening compliance with the National Higher Education Code, our RISE eLearning suite provides scalable, expert-led, and trauma-informed learning that helps students and staff build the knowledge, skills and confidence to prevent gender-based violence.
