Research & Advocacy
All DVCS services are underpinned by research and advocacy, reflecting our commitment to evidence-based practice, education and awareness raising. Where relevant, we prepare reports and submissions and collaborate on research activities with funding bodies, peak bodies, government groups and other frontline service providers around Australia.
