ClubsNSW Announces New Partnerships to Support DFV Response

These partnerships have been carefully designed to combine national expertise with practical, on-the-ground support, ensuring clubs have both the knowledge and the tools to respond to DFV in a meaningful and responsible way.

Addressing domestic and family violence requires both prevention and response. This new approach brings together:

• Expert guidance to support education, awareness and best practice.
• Community-based partners delivering practical support for those who need it most.

This ensures clubs are not only building understanding and capability but also have access to trusted services and resources that can assist individuals in real and immediate ways.

Meet the Partners

ClubsNSW is proud to be working with the following organisations:

• Our Watch (Expert Partner)
  A national leader in the prevention of violence against women, Our Watch provides evidence-based guidance to support a consistent and informed approach across the industry.
• DV Safe Phone (Community Partner)
  Providing secure, refurbished mobile phones so victim-survivors can safely access support services and stay connected.
• Escabags (Community Partner)
  Delivering discreet emergency packs with essential items for individuals leaving unsafe situations, offering immediate support at a critical time.
• StandByU Foundation (Community Partner)
  Providing safety solutions that connect individuals to trusted support networks and emergency assistance.

What This Means for Clubs

These partnerships are designed to support clubs in practical and accessible ways, including:

• Access to trusted, specialist organisations aligned to best practice.
• Improved referral pathways to safely connect individuals with support.
• Availability of practical resources for use within clubs and local communities.
• Increased confidence and capability in responding to DFV safely and responsibly.
• Opportunities to get involved in meaningful initiatives that reflect community needs.

Together, this creates a more consistent and supported approach across the industry, while recognising the important role clubs play as safe and connected community hubs.

Further information, including how clubs can engage with each partner, will be shared in the coming weeks. ClubsNSW thanks all member clubs for their ongoing commitment to supporting safe and inclusive communities.
