The Master of Domestic and Family Violence Practice course will provide you with the opportunity to develop specialist knowledge and skills for research, professional practice and further learning in relation to domestic and family violence. Through undertaking independent research related to your practice area/s of interest you will have the opportunity to enhance your understanding of key domestic and family theories and approaches in fields such as working with victims/survivors and perpetrator behaviour change interventions. You will explore legal and safety considerations that arise from working in this area and consider ethical, professional and self-management implications for practice. Through its relationship with the Queensland Centre for Domestic and Family Violence Research, this qualification offers a pathway to further advanced qualifications in domestic and family violence research and education. The knowledge and skills gained through completing this course are transferable across a wide range of professions and occupations where workers encounter victims/survivors and perpetrators of domestic and family violence, including criminal justice, child safety, health services and non-government organisations.
Graduates could undertake further research or education or work in victims’ and/ or perpetrators’ services in criminal justice, child safety, health services and non-government organisations.
