Webinar resources
Thank you for joining us for What if we stopped waiting for family violence to become a crisis?, a 16 Days of Activism webinar hosted by Relationships Australia.
Ten years on from Victoria’s Royal Commission into Family Violence, we brought together Our Watch, Eastern Community Legal Centre and Relationships Australia Victoria to look at what has changed across prevention, early intervention, response and recovery, and what it would take for the system to step in earlier.
On this page you’ll find details of our presenters, resources and reports mentioned during the webinar, how to stay in touch with each organisation, and support services if you need them.

Understanding Family and Domestic Violence Evidence Paper
Relationships Australia Victoria
Published in October 2026, Relationships Australia Victoria's Understanding Family and Domestic Violence Evidence Paper summarises data and research on the prevalence, causes and consequences of family violence, and canvasses key flashpoints in academic and public discussion of family violence issues. It provides an organisational response to these data and issues, and affirms our commitment to a safer future for all Australians.
This year’s Paper follows the publication of our first family violence specialist report, a Family Violence Position Paper, in 2025, and reflects new data and insights from the past 12 months wherever possible.
