SPEAQ is the network of Services and Practitioners for the Elimination of Abuse in Queensland.
Stopping the violence at its source, by working directly with those committing the violence.
Member practitioners and services work with men who use domestic and family violence in any form, and with partners or family members affected by their abuse.
Our Organisation
Connection and Support
Our network connects and supports practitioners, co-ordinators and managers across Queensland.

What do members do?
For men
We help men who have used domestic and family violence to change;
and to find respectful and safe ways of relating and dealing with problems and difficulties.
For partners and family
We also work with their partners and other family members subjected to their abuse, to provide support and help create safety.
