This Community of Practice will be driven and led by Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations (ACCO’s). We understand the power of working together and the power of a united voice.  Our families matter and we need to act now.   As we learn from each other we can strengthen our sector and have an impact both immediately and in the long term. By sharing solutions\, ideas\, legislative changes and challenges\, we can work together to address family violence in our communities.   \nThe Vision \nWe envisage  a broad\, inclusive partnership with ACCOS and mainstream services at the grassroots who share a commitment to building the capacity of the ACCO sector. And to delivering on all 4 Priority Reforms outlined in the Closing the Gap National Agreement. FNAAFV invites broad participation from organisations that are committed to reducing FDSV.  We are expecting representation from the following sectors: FVPLS\, Housing (including shelters and safety housing)\, Corrections\, DV services\, Land Councils\, Early Childhood\, Health\, Courts/Justice\, Child Protection\, Disability\, Youth\, Social and Emotional Wellbeing\, Seniors and Older People\, Academic/Research\, Stolen Generations\, and LGBTQIA+.   \nWhen? \nOur first online meetings will focus on sharing between services.  Initially these will be 90 minute meetings every 6 weeks.  We’re planning for a first meeting in August. \nHow much is it? \nMembership will be free. Terms of Reference will be established to guide the conduct\, support accountability and transparency. FNAAFV will provide the secretariat function. FNAAFV will track all Community of Practice actions and take minutes from each meeting to circulate to members.   \nTo join or learn more \nIf you’re keen to participate or want to know more please complete the short registration below and we will be in touch with more informaiton and details of the first meeting. \nCommunity of Practice Email Contact \nComofPrac@FNAAFV.org.au
