Improving safety outcomes for migrant and refugee women and children
The Train, Engage, Connect, Support (TECS) project seeks to engage and build the capacity of multicultural community and faith leaders across Australia to prevent and respond to family, domestic and sexual violence (FDSV), in collaboration with specialist services.
This is a collaborative initiative, which recognises the importance of mobilising communities to address FDSV – a universal issue. Faith and community leaders supporting multicultural communities share our vision of respect, safety, and equality for all and have a unique and critical role to play as social responders. The TECS project has developed learning resources to support leaders to take action to prevent and respond to FDSV in their communities.
Fostering a supportive and inclusive environment is crucial—one where victim survivors of FDSV feel empowered to seek help, and individuals who use FDSV are held accountable for their actions.
The TECS project is supported by the Australian Government under the National Plan to End Violence Against Women and Children 2022-2032. The project is delivered by SSI in partnership with the Federation of Ethnic Communities’ Councils of Australia (FECCA).
Safer, stronger communities free from violence: our approach
In collaboration with community leaders, faith leaders, people from migrant and refugee communities with lived experience, and key sector stakeholders, the project involves:
National consultations with nearly 300 faith and community leaders, victim survivors and sector stakeholders across all states and territories.
Collaboration with faith and community leaders, victim survivors and sector stakeholders to co-design and deliver an evidence-based, culturally responsive national training package for faith and community leaders.
Facilitation of learning circles to support leaders to provide feedback, connect and share experiences following completion of the training.
Taking action to keep multicultural communities safe: Faith and community leaders training
The TECS project’s co-designed learning materials support community and faith leaders from migrant and refugee communities to prevent, identify and respond to FDSV. These resources are available to community and faith leaders across Australia who want to build their skills in understanding FDSV and support their communities to address these issues.
The training package includes:
- An interactive e-learning course to increase faith and community leaders’ confidence to understand and shape their role in recognising FDSV, responding appropriately, and referring victim-survivors to appropriate services. Includes vignettes featuring diverse community and faith leaders to highlight the role leaders can play in responding to FDSV.
- A conversation guide to help leaders recall core information from the e-learning and have conversations about FDSV in their communities. This is available within the e-learning.
- Opportunity to join a learning circle where you can connect with other leaders who have also completed this training. The registration link for this is available within the e-learning.
Certificates are available for leaders who complete the e-learning course.

About SafePath
Victims of sexual violence from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities face unique challenges in reporting and reaching out for assistance when there is a lack of culturally responsive and trauma-informed services. Often, sexual violence services are not equipped with culturally and linguistically informed information, further enhancing barriers that victims may experience.
SafePath is a two-year project funded until June 2025 by the Department of Communities & Justice. The project aims to further equip frontline practitioners in identifying and responding to CALD victim survivors of sexual violence perpetration.
How we help
SafePath will develop culturally and linguistically informed resources to support victim-survivors, practitioners, and wider communities about sexual violence.
We invite you to share and use the resources when they are available. Some resources will be available in-language.
