Ms Berry: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

a) Robyn Miller who was contracted to build the Foundation e-Learn; and

b) Diana Labiris was contracted to support content development and create a suite of materials for the face-to-face Managers’ training.

c) The Domestic Violence Crisis Service (DVCS) was engaged to design training content for Tier 1 and Tier 2.

2. Robyn Miller - $75,000 (GST exclusive).

Diana Labiris - $27,300 (GST exclusive).

3. Yes.

The ACT Government Domestic and Family Violence Training program (training program) content has been amended at various times in response to feedback from both training facilitators and participants, supporting continuous improvement through a try, test, learn approach.

The most significant refinement process occurred in 2019 following the initial testing phase.

Women’s Legal Centre ACT & Region Inc was engaged to re-design support material for the face-to-face Managers training.
