Our Advocacy

Safe Steps  has a long and proud history of advocating for social change and policy reform.

Our research and policy work is informed by the lived experiences of women and children impacted by family violence and seeks to ensure that their voices are at the heart of all relevant policy reforms.

Our goal is to influence Government policy and community attitudes and position safe steps as a thought leader in the fields of family violence and gender equality, drawing on our extensive expertise in the family violence sector.
