- In-kind contributions (skills, services or resources aligned to our mission).
- Ethical sponsorships (supporting specific programs or initiatives).
We prioritise ethical alignment, privacy and trauma-informed practice in how we work with partners.
Offer Professional Support
If you have relevant professional expertise, there may be opportunities to support STOP DV in ways that are ethical, appropriate and aligned with trauma-informed practice.
Professional involvement helps strengthen pathways, improve outcomes and ensure people impacted by domestic and family violence are supported with care and respect.
Professional backgrounds that may align:
- Health and wellbeing professionals.
- Legal, advocacy or policy specialists.
- Counsellors, psychologists or social workers.
- Education, training or community engagement professionals.
- Digital, communications or strategic specialists.
- Other professionals whose expertise aligns with prevention, safety or systems support.
How professional support is approached:
- Engagement is by invitation or discussion, not assumption.
- Roles are clearly defined and appropriate to qualifications.
- All involvement respects confidentiality, safety and informed consent.
- Support is provided within clear ethical and professional boundaries.
Professional support does not replace crisis or frontline services and is always structured to complement existing support systems.
Not everyone is in a position to volunteer or partner, and that’s okay. Advocacy and awareness play a powerful role in prevention and cultural change.
Small actions, shared consistently, can help shift attitudes and improve access to support.
Ways to Advocate:
- Share trusted resources with your networks.
- Promote respectful relationships in everyday conversations.
- Support awareness campaigns and community initiatives.
- Encourage safe help-seeking when appropriate.
- Model respect and accountability in your own spaces.
Advocacy should always be safe. If sharing information or speaking up feels risky, protecting your wellbeing comes first.
Be part of change that protects lives!
Getting involved with STOP DV should always feel safe, respectful and within your control.
Getting involved with STOP DV should always feel safe, respectful and within your control. There is no expectation to share personal experiences, disclose sensitive information or put yourself at risk. All involvement is guided by clear boundaries, informed consent and trauma-informed practice.
If you are personally impacted by domestic or family violence and are seeking support rather than involvement, help is available.
