We’re building something better.
Doctors Against Violence is a network of over 800 doctors working through advocacy, education and partnership to transform how the Australian healthcare system recognises and responds to domestic, family and sexual violence.
Domestic, family and sexual violence is a gendered crisis. Our mission centres the safety and wellbeing of women and children. We welcome every doctor, of any gender, who shares this commitment.
We are rebuilding our website from the ground up so it better supports our network and the people at the centre of this work.
Everything we do starts with the women who have lived it, and those who walk alongside them. Their knowledge guides our work, and it is what drives us to push for change.
We'll be back soon, with new resources and clinical tools for our network, and information and support for the women and children they care for.
Are you a medical practitioner or clinician?
Help shape the future of Doctors Against Violence by taking our short survey which asks about your training needs, the events and support you would value, clinician wellbeing, membership, the advocacy priorities that matter most to you, and what information, resources and tools you would like to find on the DAV website. It takes about 10 minutes and is anonymous and confidential. Your input will directly shape what we build.
