A unique opportunity to lead change
FDV is not just a personal issue, it’s also a workplace issue, and a whole of community issue.
With rising rates of FDV across Australia, organisations have a unique opportunity to lead change.
FDV doesn’t stop at the front door, and it doesn’t stay out of the workplace, it can impact performance at work and the safety and wellbeing of employees, and each year, FDV costs the Australian economy approximately $26.1 billion (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 2025).
This training is not just timely, it’s essential.
