The ‘Prevent. Assist. Respond. Training – do your part’ (PART) project is specialist ongoing domestic, family and sexual violence (DFSV) training for police and healthcare workers in the Northern Territory.

The PART project has four central aims:

• To ensure the voices of victim-survivors, particularly Aboriginal women, inform the training materials and package for police and healthcare workers 

• To increase collaboration and strengthen relationships between the DFSV sector, health and police

• To increase knowledge and understanding of domestic, family, and sexual violence, including emerging forms and key challenges, as well as trauma-informed culturally safe and non-collusive practice, among stakeholders and community members
