SPEAQ holds a unique place in domestic violence work in Qld
SPEAQ exists to support the highest level of effectiveness and safety in interventions with people who use domestic and family violence, who are primarily men using intimate partner violence against women. We also educate, inform and advocate across the service sector and the broader community. It is unique among networks within the Domestic Violence sector in Queensland, as a group of people of all genders working together to stop domestic and family violence at its source – with those who use the violence.
We run on generosity and goodwill
SPEAQ is not a funding-driven organisation. It is a network powered by goodwill, dialogue, collaboration, respect, passion and commitment. The network is however undoubtedly constrained by limited resources. As we receive no recurrent funding from government, funding for the secretariat is based on membership subscriptions and supported by a good dose of voluntary unpaid labour. Specialist professional development activities including the annual SPEAQ Forum and training events provide some additional revenue, along with donations.
