Welcome to the Education Centre Against Violence (ECAV) NSW Health, administered by Sydney West Area Health Service . ECAV is committed to enhancing the quality and accessibility of services to people whose lives have been affected by interpersonal violence.
We achieve this by providing state-wide specialised training, consultancy and resource development for NSW Health and interagency workers who provide services to children and adults who have experienced sexual assault, domestic or Aboriginal family violence and/or physical and emotional abuse and neglect.
ECAV promotes an understanding of cultural and community diversity through its courses, resources and advisory groups.
We have a memorandum of understanding with the Aboriginal Community Matters Advisory Committee (ACMAG), which provides an Aboriginal voice in matters of training, resource development and policy initiatives.
For more information about the work of ACMAG and its agreement with ECAV, or information about training for Aboriginal workers or training of non-Aboriginal workers who are working with Aboriginal communities, please Contact Us.
