About the hosts

We are the peak bodies representing Victoria’s family violence and sexual assault sectors.  

Safe and Equal is the peak body for specialist family violence services in Victoria. We are an independent, non-government organisation that leads, organises, advocates for, and acts on behalf of our members – with a focus across the continuum from primary prevention through to response and recovery. Our vision is a world beyond family and gender-based violence, where women, children and all people from marginalised communities are safe, thriving and respected.   

Sexual Assault Services Victoria (SASVic) is the peak body for specialist sexual assault and harmful sexual behaviour services in Victoria. We work to promote rights, recovery and respect for all those impacted by sexual violence and harm. We seek to achieve this by working collectively to change the attitudes, systems and structures that enable sexual violence to occur. Our members provide support for all those impacted by sexual assault and harmful sexual behaviours, including children and young people.  

No to Violence (NTV) is the peak body for organisations and individuals who work with men to end family violence. We operate the Men’s Referral Service, a national telephone counselling, information and referral service for men who are concerned about their violent behaviour. Our members provide a range of services including Men’s Behaviour Change Programs (MBCPs), case management and individual counselling. As the peak, we provide policy development and advocacy, research and evaluation. We also deliver high quality training, building workforce capacity across Victoria.
