Free and interactive family violence MARAM training to education workforces.
Last updated: 03 Dec 2025
Training for MARAM-nominated staff
The Department of Education has partnered with the Centre to deliver free and interactive family violence MARAM training to education workforces.
This 4-hour training supports school and early childhood staff to build on skills they already have to better identify and respond to family violence.
In-person training will be held in metropolitan and regional areas throughout Victoria from November 2024 to June 2026.
MARAM-nominated staff are identified by school and service leaders and have qualifications, training, experience, or a role aligned with wellbeing, such as wellbeing coordinators or leadership staff. The training includes activities supporting MARAM-nominated staff in screening for family violence, planning for safety, making referrals and reports, and providing ongoing support.
Training hours count towards professional learning for Victorian Institute of Teaching registration, and Casual Relief Teacher reimbursement is available (the Centre will email you instructions about how to claim this).
The training is based on the Department of Education’s Information Sharing and Family Violence Reforms: Guidance and Tools.
Please familiarise yourself with the guidance, as it will be discussed and referred to throughout the training.
Once you’ve completed registration, you’ll receive a Registration Confirmation email from the Centre’s Learning Management System (LMS) within 24 hours – be sure to check your junk folder.
Please be aware that this DE MARAM training is only available until the end of June so available spaces may become limited in Term 2. Our sessions are capped at 45 participants to ensure a quality learning experience.

Background
MARAM is the evidence-based family violence Multi-Agency Risk Assessment and Management (MARAM) framework that almost 400,000 workers in Victoria align with to support their family violence practice.
It was implemented in 2021 along with the Child Information Sharing Scheme and the Family Violence Information Sharing Scheme; together, these three interrelated reforms support schools and services in reducing family violence and promoting child wellbeing and safety.
Schools and services must share information and undertake their MARAM responsibilities alongside other services to protect children and young people from experiencing the harm caused by family. violence.
