Purple shirts are changing conversations around domestic and family violence for the better.

An innovative campaign called ‘Purple Shirt Friday’ has changed the atmosphere at Revesby Worker’s Club, helping both staff and club patrons to feel safer, and more willing to talk about the problem of domestic and family violence.

Club CEO, Scott Bennetts, says the initiative is impacting not only staff and members, but also the wider community.

That's the sobering message from Helping Hands panellists Delia Donovan (CEO of Domestic Violence NSW), Steve Frost (founder and director of Horizons Family Law Centre), and Kate Fylan (NSW and ACT State Manager of Family and Domestic Violence at the Salvation Army).
