A meta evaluation has been conducted of the first phase of the $50 million Partnerships Against Domestic Violence Initiative (PADV1), which aims to find better ways of working to prevent, reduce and respond to domestic violence. This volume of the meta evaluation discusses the potential of community education and awareness raising to prevent domestic violence as well as issues in designing, implementing and evaluating such campaigns, and then presents findings from the meta evaluation of PADV projects which primarily focused on community education activities. These ranged from broad statewide campaigns to more targeted projects, such as the development of a kit for educating general practitioners about domestic violence. They also included a number of projects which explored approaches to awareness raising and education with Indigenous communities and people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. The evaluation finds, overall, that PADV community education projects have been effective indeveloping a range of strategies for educating the general community and specific communities about domestic violence, and have demonstrated that domestic violence prevention community education should continue using both community wide and community based programs. The report also identifies elements of good practice in this area, as well as priorities for future action.
