The Queensland Indigenous Family Violence Prevention Forum aims to:

highlight and celebrate the good work that is being done by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to end domestic and family violence;
support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to share information and gain new knowledge about strategies and programs that could be used effectively by others;
promote opportunities for networking between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander workers in the field of domestic and family violence prevention and to
provide Forum delegates with tangible materials to support frontline work, that may be shared with colleagues back in their communities.

The intended outcomes of the Forum, as developed with valued Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Advisors, have remained consistent, aligning with those of the Queensland Government.

These include:

enabling Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to share information and gain new knowledge about strategies and programs that enhance practice;
introducing innovative approaches, based on research and practice evidence, to prevent and respond to domestic and family violence and
promoting opportunities for peer support between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander workers in the field of domestic and family violence prevention and responses.
