What is MARAM Accredited Training?
The Centre for Workforce Excellence (CWE), DFFH, is working in partnership with the Department of Jobs, Skills, Industry and Regions (DJSIR) to develop Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses in family violence.
The training aims to build the knowledge, skills, and capabilities of existing and future workforces to respond to and contribute to the prevention of family violence. These courses are the first accredited training courses to be directly based on the MARAM Framework.
Through these courses, individuals will be able to access MARAM aligned and accredited family violence training through Registered Training Organisations (RTOs), TAFEs and dual sector universities, either during their studies or before they enter the workforce as part of their pre-service education and training.
What has been achieved so far?
The Course in Identifying and Responding to Family Violence was recently re-accredited with the new code 22660VIC. The course has been made available for delivery from 1 April 2024. Improvements have been made to the new course based on learnings from implementation of its predecessor, including streamlined content and assessment requirements. A refreshed suite of resources to accompany the course will be available later this year.
The Course in Intermediate Risk Assessment and Management of Family Violence (22625VIC) was re-accredited in 2023 and is available to training providers for delivery. Development of course resources for the unit VU23432 – Undertake intermediate assessment and management of family violence risk will commence later in 2024.
The Course in Contributing to the Prevention of Family Violence and Violence Against Women (22621VIC) was accredited in 2023 and is available to TAFEs for delivery. Course resources are currently under development and will be available this year.
