Fast Track is an intensive leadership program that provides mid-career and senior practitioners with the leadership skills required to advance their career within the family violence response and primary prevention sectors.

The free 10-week program includes weekly, three-hour workshops featuring expert presenters. Participants can apply their learning during the program to a workplace project with the support of a specialist mentor.

Delivered in two streams - response and prevention - the program will increase participants’ knowledge in feminist leadership, advocacy, policy, staff and organisation development, partnerships, program design, and working in diverse settings.

Designed by sector experts, and grounded in the industry experience of DVRCV and Domestic Violence Victoria, Fast Track translates the capabilities outlined in the Victorian Government’s capability frameworks, into relevant, practical learning materials that can be applied to real-life settings.

The first two streams run in early 2021 with more courses planned over the next two years.
