United, we will tirelessly work to end domestic violence in a generation.

Reflect on current obstacles, brainstorm innovations and seek opportunities for change within the family, domestic and sexual violence sector.

Join some of the most influential and dedicated sector professionals to work collaboratively through the most pressing issues and pave a new path for the future.

Walk away from the conference with a once in a year learning experience, more connection to the goals of the sector, and your role within it, your peers and your community.

The presenters, the topics, the workshops, the social functions and opportunities for collaborations are all incredibly valuable and will provide you with the ideas, insight, knowledge and chances you need to create the change you want to see.

Greatest Risk

Intimate partner violence is the GREATEST HEALTH RISK FACTOR (greater than smoking, alcohol & obesity) for women aged 25–44.

10 Every Day

Almost 10 women a day are hospitalised for assault injuries perpetrated by a spouse or domestic partner.

54%

In a recent report on male-perpetrated intimate partner homicide, 54 per cent of offenders reported a history of trauma.

2.2 Million

An estimated 2.2 million Australians (12% of the population) reported experiences of sexual violence (threat and/or assault) since the age of 15.

Statistics: 1: Ayre et al, 2016. 2: Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW). 20193: Boxall et al., 2022. 4: Australian Institute of Health and Welfare.

Join us at the STOP Domestic Violence Conference and explore the current issues facing the sector and brainstorm new initiatives so we can make our communities safer and work toward the goal of eradicating domestic, family and sexual violence in a generation.

How can we provide universal education, public messaging around the supports available and steps to take when a community member experiences domestic abuse, family or sexual violence or coercive control?

What are the steps necessary in developing professional and cultural competency for all mental and allied health workers to provide the necessary support to victims in times of need?

Where are the resources available to the community which make up the ongoing response to family and domestic violence?

Together we will review the plans around prevention, intervention, response and recovery of family, domestic and sexual violence sector to create a brighter, safer future.

Grace Tame

Grace Tame

Australian of the Year, Activist & Advocate for survivors of sexual assault

After being groomed and raped by her maths teacher when she was just 15 years old, Grace Tame has turned her traumatic experience into advocacy for survivors of child sexual abuse and has been a leader of positive change for over a decade.

Recognising the injustice of Tasmania’s gag order that prevented survivors from self-identifying publicly, Grace offered her story to the #LetHerSpeak campaign created by Nina Funnell, along with the stories of 16 other brave survivors. In 2019, she finally won a court order to speak our under her own name, making her the state’s first female child sexual abuse survivor to do so.

Current work:
Now, 26 and based in Hobart, Grace is dedicated to eradicating child sexual abuse in Australia, and supporting the survivors of child sexual abuse.

Her focus is around enabling survivors to tell their stories without shame, educating the public around the process and lasting effects of grooming and working with policy and decision-makers to ensure we have a federal legal system that supports the survivors, not just the perpetrators.

She is also a passionate yoga teacher, visual artist, and champion long-distance runner, having won the 2020 Ross Marathon in a female course record time of 2:59:31.

An open book about her experience, but even more passionate about preventing this from happening to other children, Grace speaks from the heart and will have her audience simultaneously inspired and in tears.

She is a regular keynote speaker, media guest and advocacy commentator.

Grace is the 2021 Australian of the Year.
