Posted 02 March 2017
Workplaces have an increasingly-important role to play in the solution to family violence.

Keith’s presentation Paid Domestic Violence Leave will be a feature of the VHA Family Violence Forum: Understanding the health sector’s life-changing role on April 4.
Guest speaker: Liana Buchanan, Commissioner for Children and Young People
Other speakers:
- Fiona McCormack – CEO Domestic Violence Victoria
- Rebecca Falkingham – Deputy Secretary Social Policy and Service Delivery Reform Department of Premier and Cabinet
- Dr. Sue Matthews – CEO The Royal Women’s Hospital
- Bernadette O’ Connor – Director of Allied Health The Royal Children’s Hospital
