About the modules

The content of these modules has been developed for use by government and non-government community services agencies, as well as community members, businesses, and others who may come into contact with people experiencing domestic and family violence.

Each module is approximately 90 minutes long and are self-paced so you can stop and start again when you please. These modules are free of charge for all people in Queensland.

It is not a requirement to complete every module as some modules may not be relevant to your work or community role. Each module will provide an overview of the intended user to help you determine whether these may be relevant to you.

The final learning checkpoint for each module is a five-question quiz which you will need to successfully complete to receive a Certificate of Completion.

The following parameters apply to the quizzes:

Time allowed: Unlimited

Attempts: Unlimited

Pass mark: 100%

The modules may include information or scenarios that may be distressing to you, and you may need to discontinue working through the training modules if you feel distressed. Please seek support if this does occur. You may like to contact 1800RESPECT https://www.1800respect.org.au/ who can provide both professional and personal support.
