TFER’s purpose is to motivate and support organisations in the eastern metropolitan region to take action to promote gender equality and equal and respectful relationships as the means by which violence against women and their children will be prevented.
By providing a mechanism to coordinate and integrate primary prevention activities, the TFER Partnership works to maximise efforts, and minimise duplication. It supports practitioners and organisations to work to the evidence base as they build community and organisational awareness, knowledge and capacity for change.
As valued members of the TFER partnership, we would encourage and welcome your participation and exploration in any of the below capacity building and knowledge sharing opportunities.
