A day dedicated to sharing evidence‑based practice, strengthening collaboration, and inspiring our collective response to domestic and family violence. Join us to learn, develop your skills and be energised by the work happening across our region. Ipswich community members, agencies and the service sector are invited to come together for the 4th annual Swich Speaks Out Summit in 2026.

The Swich Speaks Out Summit: 2026 continues Ipswich’s commitment to Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month. This year’s theme, Culture, Community and Safety: Equity in Protection for Every Voice, highlights the importance of culturally responsive practice, inclusive systems and community‑led approaches to preventing and responding to Domestic and Family Violence. The Summit will explore how we can strengthen safety and accountability while ensuring every person, family and community has equitable access to protection and support.

The Summit is delivered by the Ipswich DFV Integrated Service System Working Group as part of the Ipswich DFV Prevention Strategy and Action Plan, reinforcing our shared vision for a coordinated, informed and community‑driven response to Domestic and Family Violence.

The 2026 agenda features keynote presentations, panel discussions and focused breakout sessions. Attendees will be able to opt in to the sessions that align most closely with their work, interests and professional development goals.
