For Project PRADO – Partnership Response at Domestic Violence Occurrences
Project PRADO was developed to provide proactive, timely support and referrals to services for people experiencing domestic and family violence in the Caboolture region.
Caboolture Police District initiated Project PRADO with Caboolture Regional Domestic Violence Service, Caboolture Child Safety Service Centre, Queensland Corrective Services and Caboolture Magistrates Court to provide a coordinated response to domestic and family violence.
The project helps people experiencing domestic and family violence to plan for their safety and ensures they engage with appropriate services early.
The partnership also delivered culturally appropriate community programs and worked with male and female community leaders in promoting violence prevention work.
Results to date show that more victims are taking advantage of the opportunities available to change their circumstances and break the cycle of domestic and family violence.
