Access our data

GenWest generates and holds a rich body of evidence on gender-based violence, family violence, and the communities we serve in Melbourne's west. We make this knowledge available to support better practice, policy, and planning across the sector.

Our data and evidence includes:

  • Research reports and publications — in-depth exploration of key issues affecting our communities

  • Local and regional data and statistics — grounded insights into the experiences and needs of people in the west

  • Evaluation findings — learnings from our programs and initiatives to inform what works

  • Sector data and trends — a broader view of the landscape to support strategic decision-making

This resource is available to other organisations and services, researchers and academics, government bodies, funders, and community groups seeking to deepen their understanding or strengthen their work.

Data and evidence can be accessed on request, through a research or sector partnership, or via our paid reports and services. We welcome enquiries from those looking to collaborate or build on our evidence base.
