Clubs Queensland – NEWS
As we enter May, Queensland marks Domestic and Family Violence Prevention month. Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month is an important community initiative held in Queensland each year in May to:
- raise community awareness of domestic and family violence and coercive control
- call upon Queensland communities and organisations to take action to end violence against women and their children.
- promote support options available for people impacted by domestic and family violence.
The 2024 theme is: It’s in our control to end coercive control.
The month of May is an opportunity for all Queenslanders to take a stand against domestic and family violence and coercive control and reinforce that domestic and family violence is prohibited and will not be tolerated in the community.
Clubs Queensland has developed and made available, resources to assist member clubs in how to recognise, respond and refer to domestic and family violence. These include:
- Clubs Queensland FDV Leave Factsheet
- Family and Domestic Violence Policy Template
- Challenge DV Family and Domestic Violence eLearning Training
- Mullins Factsheet FDV & Visa Holders
Help and support is available for anyone impacted by domestic and family violence. If you are in danger, don’t feel safe, or fear for yours or someone else’s safety, call Triple Zero (000) immediately and ask for Queensland Police.
For non-urgent police assistance, phone Policelink on 131 444.
For confidential support, including 24-hour crisis support and suicide prevention, and referral, you can contact Lifeline Australia on 13 11 14 or visit www.lifeline.org.au/.
