At the time of writing this flyer, in Australia 2026:
· 26 women have been murdered due to violence against women (Counting Dead Women Australia Project).
· 36 women and 15 children murdered “based on every known Australian woman and child killed as a result of murder, manslaughter or neglect from White Settlement to now” (Australian Femicide Watch, 2026).
This is the context in which we work.
These murders highlight that there is a need for all of us to keep learning.
This workshop invites practitioners, leaders and teams to come together to reflect on the systems we are part of and the role we each play in responding to domestic and family violence. Together, we will explore the assumptions, practices and organisational responses that shape our work, and consider how they can either create realistic safety options or further contribute to entrapment.
Drawing on Professor Jane Monckton Smith's 8-Stage Homicide Timeline, we will use stories of domestic violence homicide to deepen our understanding of coercive control, escalating risk, and the points where intervention might make a difference. Together, we will explore what these stories teach us about working more effectively with victim/survivors (adults and children), holding perpetrators to account, and strengthening our responses across services.
By strengthening our collective imagination and practice, we increase our capacity to consider how we respond to victims/survivors, perpetrators and families in ways that is dignifying for all, increases the potential for realistic safety options, and support the work of accountability with perpetrators and intervening systems.
