MARAM Communities of Practice

No to Violence’s Communities of Practice can further facilitate your confidence and expertise in applying the MARAM Framework in working with men using family violence in Victoria.

They can also provide a space to come together with others doing similar work, share experiences, challenges and hopes for your work leading into the future.

What is MARAM?

The Family Violence Multi-Agency Risk Assessment and Management Framework ensures services are effectively identifying, assessing and managing family violence risk.

The Framework aims to support practitioners across Victoria working both in the specialist family violence sector and also the broader service sector (universal services) in responding to adults using family violence. 

Communities of Practice

Our Communities of Practice provide people with additional knowledge and expertise in understanding and working under the MARAM framework. Our focus is to support all those working in the specialist and broader service sector in responding to Adults Using Family Violence.

Select the sessions relevant to your role and register for all of them in advance if you prefer. Each session will cover a different topic to support you in different areas of your professional development.
