The Red Rose Foundation Australia is a national charity with a specific focus on addressing the issues surrounding domestic violence deaths including homicide, suicide and accidental deaths arising from incidents and or / histories of domestic violence. Research informs that the majority of domestic violence deaths are predictable and preventable. The focus of the foundation is to address systemic gaps in service systems through supporting women and children to safety, training, education and research. We are cognisant of the strong links between domestic violence, child abuse and sexual violence. The board of the Red Rose Foundation comprises professionals drawn from senior policing, sector management, violence prevention consultancy and research all who have vast experience and expertise across both domestic violence and sexual assault. Board members are drawn from Queensland, New South Wales, ACT and Victoria. Further information on the Red Rose Foundation and its board members can be found at www.redrosefoundation.com.au
