The Handbook presents the ‘how’ of primary prevention and provides detailed step-by-step guidance, tips, case studies, tools and resources to support you in undertaking your prevention work. It was developed to complement Change the story: A shared framework for the primary prevention of violence against women and their children in Australia.

This Handbook has been written for prevention practitioners who are engaged in activities that aim to prevent violence against women. Practitioners may focus on preventing violence against women as part or all of their work and may be working in a range of settings or contexts.

The Handbook provides detailed step-by-step guidance, tips, case studies, tools and resources to support practitioners in undertaking their prevention work.

Prevention in Action is an Our Watch website for practitioners and anyone who is interested in prevention work. It has been developed from the the Handbook content and also offers  free webinars, training and events, and communities of practice about preventing violence against women.
