The Northern Beaches Domestic Violence Network Conference 2024

The Northern Beaches Domestic Violence Network is proud to host the very first Domestic Violence Conference in Manly sponsored by the Mounties Group.

The conference showcases valuable services and supports that have a primary response in supporting victim survivors of Family and Domestic Violence.  

The conference serves as a vital platform to shed light on the pervasive issues of Family and Domestic Violence. By focusing on our local context, we aim to spark meaningful conversations, challenge harmful norms, and foster collective action against all forms of violence within intimate relationships. Through education, advocacy, and community engagement, we strive to empower individuals to recognise the signs of abuse, access support services, and work towards creating a culture of respect and equality. Together, we can dismantle the barriers that perpetuate violence and build a safer, more inclusive society for everyone.
