Earlier this week, Quantum's Head of Family Violence, Leslie Smith, and our Family Violence team welcomed Cindy McLeish MP , Shadow Minister for Family Violence Prevention, and Martin Cameron MP, Member for Morwell, for a visit and discussion about the realities facing services across Inner Gippsland.
The visit provided an opportunity to share the growing demand for family violence services, discuss current system challenges, and highlight the importance of early intervention and prevention initiatives.
We were proud to showcase Quantum's Adolescents Building Connections (ABC) program as a vital preventative measure that supports young people to build healthy relationships and reduce the risk of future family violence. Programs like ABC play a critical role in breaking cycles of violence before they begin, but continued investment in prevention is essential.
Thank you to Cindy and Martin for taking the time to listen to the experiences of our staff and learn more about the opportunities and challenges facing our region.
Together, we can continue advocating for stronger prevention programs and a safer future for our communities.
