Monash GFV will lead the way in offering a cross-Faculty Graduate Certification and Graduate Diploma in Family Violence Prevention that will contain innovative blended units offered as professional training modules, graduate and third/fourth level offerings.
Focusing on developing a flexible and innovative set of educational offerings that will address a range of workforce needs for education, the initiative will aim to fulfill the critical need for graduate education and training initiatives to develop broad-based workforce capacity.
The education program will leverage expertise from five Faculties and institutes across the university - Arts, Law, Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences (MNHS), the Monash University Accident Research Centre (MUARC), and Monash Art, Design and Architecture (MADA).

Building bridges between NGOs, the police and academia is essential when attempting to address issues of gender and family violence education. By bringing together stakeholders within the field to address initiatives around prevention education within universities, these programs will be better informed and innovative.
Led by JaneMaree Maher, the meeting opened with a short presentation with ideas about the family violence prevention education initiative and then opened up for discussions.
Stakeholders from NGOs, the magistrates court, and Vic police brought dynamic ideas to the table about the initiative and its potential for change in a variety of spheres.
