The Family Violence Prevention Foundation of Australia

Who We Are

Violence Free Families works for the reduction of all types of family violence. We believe that every person has the right to live in her or his family free of fear and intimidation. We are especially concerned for the protection of children.

We work in Research, Development and Education, designing new and innovative men’s behaviour programs to ensure that more men have greater access to interventions that will help them take responsibility for their behavior and to help keep women and children safe.

The Family Violence Prevention Foundation of Australia, ABN 97 140 937 382, (trading as Violence Free Families) is an independent, not for profit company limited by guarantee, and is the only national charity solely dedicated to family violence prevention.

Violence Free Families has been formed out of widespread community concern about family violence and its effect on children, families, adults, workplaces and the wider community.

Violence Free Families is led by a Board of community representatives and professionals.

Violence Free Families works for the elimination of all forms of family violence. We believe that Research, Innovation and Education can help improve the lives of vulnerable children and women, and help curb the incidence of family violence.
