Upcoming events

GenWest hosts a range of events throughout the year, bringing together practitioners, community members, researchers, and advocates to learn, connect, and drive change on the issues that matter most.

Our events include:

  • Workshops and training days — hands-on skill building for professionals working in gender-based violence, family violence, and related fields

  • Conferences and forums — space for sector-wide conversation, knowledge sharing, and collective action

  • Community events — locally grounded gatherings that centre the voices and experiences of people in Melbourne's west

  • Webinars and online events — accessible learning and discussion for those unable to attend in person

Browse our upcoming events and register to secure your place. Spaces are limited for many sessions, so we encourage early registration.

We also welcome organisations interested in partnering or co-hosting an event with GenWest. If you share our commitment to preventing gender-based violence and supporting thriving communities, we'd love to hear from you.

GenWest recognises that the land on which we work and provide our services always was and always will be Aboriginal land. We pay our respects to Elders past and present.

We proudly acknowledge the First Nations communities across Naarm / Melbourne’s west – the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong Boonwurrung people of the Kulin Nation. We acknowledge their rich diversity, cultures, histories and knowledges, and the deep contribution they make to the life of this region.

We acknowledge the ongoing impacts of colonisation, as well as the strength and resilience of First Nations people, and express solidarity with the ongoing struggle for land rights, self-determination, sovereignty, and recognition of past injustices.
