Join us on Tuesday 24th June 2025 for the launch of the Client Feedback Framework.

Funded by Family Safety Victoria, the Embedding Client Experience in Service Design & Delivery Project is a joint undertaking between the Monash Gender and Family Violence Centre and Safe and Equal, the Victorian peak body for specialist family violence services. This project sought to build a lived experience and practice-informed evidence base about how to meaningfully and safely engage client voices to strengthen family violence support in Victoria. Through a series of collaborative workshops with family violence victim-survivors and practitioners, this project developed the Client Feedback Framework. The Framework provides guidance for domestic and family violence service providers about designing and implementing client feedback practices and systems.

Date: Tuesday 24 June 2025
Time: 10am – 11.30am
