Our Watch is a national leader in the primary prevention of violence against women and their children. Our vision is an Australia where women and their children live free from all forms of violence. Our role is to stop violence before it starts. We work to embed gender equality and prevent violence where Australians live, learn, work and socialise.   

This project will build on Our Watch and Women with Disabilities Victoria’s (WDV) Changing the landscape: A national resource to prevent violence against women and girls with disabilities.

Drawing on this evidence base and in consultation with key stakeholders, the project aims to translate this evidence into action by developing a government action plan and capacity-building resources to support governments and practitioners to act to prevent violence against women and girls with disabilities.

The purpose of work is to provide professional services to facilitate stakeholder consultations contributing to the development of a government action plan to prevent violence against women and girls with disabilities drawing from the Changing the landscape evidence base.
