At this online Members Forum we will be joined by the Queensland Network of Alcohol and Other Drug Agencies (QNADA) to present on the DFV Capability Framework. Our presenters are Alysha Bleney – QNADA Director, Operations, and Rita Francis – QNADA Sector Development Officer.

The 2021 Women’s Safety and Justice taskforce identified opportunities for MHAOD services to improve capacity to respond to FDV, as well as improve cross sector collaboration between sectors. Building on current sector approaches, the Queensland Network of Alcohol and other Drug Agencies (QNADA) in collaboration with key sector stakeholders has developed and trialled a draft FDV capability assessment tool. Recent roundtable discussions were facilitated in the trial sites and focused on men who use violence and young people who have been exposed to family violence. Learnings from phase 1 will be used to further inform the project outcomes. This presentation will provide an overview of outcomes to date and where the project is going in phase 2.
