NTV | NTV AUFV MARAM Communities of Practice

No to Violence is pleased to resume Communities of Practice for Year 2026, with a focus on supporting and deepening practice around the Adult Using Family Violence (AUFV) MARAM Responsibilities and Tools.

No to Violence is the largest peak body in Australia for organisations and individuals who work with men to end family violence, particularly the specialist men’s family violence sector. NTV continues to facilitate the MARAM Adult Using Family Violence training (Identification, Intermediate and Comprehensive levels) whilst also supporting members and non-members across Australia through policy, research, advocacy, training and sector/workforce development.

Thank you everyone who attended NTV AUFV MARAM Communities of Practice last year in 2025 or has completed and enrolled to undertake NTV AUFV MARAM Training with No to Violence. To further facilitate your confidence and expertise in applying the MARAM Framework in working with adults using family violence, the NTV MARAM Practice Leadership Team is keen to continue facilitating this space for sharing knowledge and providing support to the wider sector.

We have now scheduled the NTV AUFV MARAM Communities of Practice for this year and warmly invite you to attend the session relevant to your role, to connect and share learnings.

This year, we have planned combined sessions for broader service sector and specialist family violence services to come together and share their experiences and network with the wider MARAM prescribed organisations across Victoria and Australia.

The session timings for both groups will alternate between 10:30am-12pm (morning session) and 1:00pm-2:30pm (afternoon session) to allow more flexibility for those who are unable to attend a particular timing and session.

NTV AUFV MARAM Community of Practice for Practitioners (Combined) – To be held MONTHLY (on the second Wednesday of every month), with the first of these sessions being a morning session 10:30am-12pm.

NTV AUFV MARAM Community of Practice for Leadership (Combined) – To be held MONTHLY (every second Wednesday of the month), with the first of these sessions being an afternoon session 1:00pm-2:30pm

Aruna Ranga and Joel Davis (NTV MARAM Practice Leads) will continue to co-facilitate the sessions.

Building on the extensive MARAM training delivered by the Workforce Development Team, Aruna and Joel will support the consolidation of this knowledge into practice. Their focus is on strengthening practitioner confidence in using MARAM tools and supporting practice guidance with leaders, as well as enhancing collaborative practice across both specialist family violence and MARAM prescribed broader services.

NTV will continue co-delivering the Collaborative Webinar Series in partnership with Safe + Equal and the Centre for Excellence in Child and Family Welfare (CFECFW). This collaboration aims to deepen understanding and reinforce integrated practice across the service sector.

These Communities of Practice will continue supporting both specialist practitioners and the broader workforce, as well as their leadership teams. They will provide a forum for shared learning, peer support, and ongoing professional development.
