Have Your Say – 2026 National Family and Domestic Violence & Sexual Violence Workforce Survey


The national survey of Australia’s family, domestic and sexual violence workforce is now open (2–28 February 2026).

If you work — paid or unpaid — in prevention, response, recovery, policy, peer support, or related sectors (housing, legal, health, youth work and more), your insights matter. This is the first national workforce survey since 2018 and will help shape future policy and support for the sector.



Please take care when considering participation. Some questions may ask you to reflect on sensitive topics — only take part if you feel safe and in the right space to do so, and take breaks if needed.


Support is available:

• Emergency: 000

• Lifeline: 13 11 14

• 1800RESPECT: 1800 737 732 (24/7)

• 13YARN: 13 92 76 (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander support)



Your voice can help strengthen the future of the workforce
