Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence (DFSV) of Older Women and Women with Disability
The NSW Ageing and Disability Commission (ADC), with the support of the NSW Women's Safety Commissioner has developed training modules and resources, aimed to upskill frontline workers and support networks to raise awareness and understanding to better prevent, identify and respond to DFSV of older women and women with disability.
These resources have been developed to be used by frontline workers, advocates and other formal supports working in the disability, ageing, and/or DFSV sectors as they are in a unique position and powerfully placed to prevent, identify and respond to the abuse of older women4 and women with disability.
