DV-Alert Domestic Violence Response Training

Lifeline Harbour to Hawkesbury Sydney, on behalf of Lifeline Australia RTO 88036, is providing a Domestic Violence Response Training program called DV-alert, which provides skills to Recognise, Respond and Refer cases of domestic and family violence.

DV-alert is a free nationally recognised training program conducted in all Australian states and territories.

DV-alert is available at no cost to all health, allied health and frontline workers who are most likely to come in contact with people experiencing or at risk of domestic and family violence.

DV-alert is available in the following formats.

Upon successful completion of the course, students will receive a Statement of Attainment CHCDFV001.

General Face-to-Face Workshops

These involve attending a 2-day workshop, interacting with participants in small work groups, completing a workbook, skills assessment, and receiving a final call from the trainer as part of the assessment. Face-to-face workshops are held across all states and territories to encourage more health, allied health and community support workers to enrol in the course. View training schedule.
