In-person event

The University of Sydney is pleased to announce its third conference on domestic and family violence. This one-day conference aims to convene academic researchers and community professionals who are dedicated to enhancing our knowledge of and responses to domestic and family violence.

About the conference

Domestic and family violence is rife in Australia. Concerningly, 1 in 6 women have experienced physical or sexual violence by a current or former partner, and one woman a week is killed (AIHW, 2018).

To address this complex issue, the Sydney Institute of Criminology is organising a one-day conference on domestic and family violence. This event will take place in person at The University of Sydney Camperdown Campus on Wednesday, 6 November.

The conference will bring together a diverse group of people, including those with lived experience, academics, and professionals working in community organisations. We hope to learn from one another’s knowledge and experiences to enhance our understanding of and responses to this urgent national issue. Our aim is to start a dialogue between community organisations and researchers that may lead to mutually beneficial research and practice collaborations.
