Purpose-built by people who understand your environment.
The Safe Spaces program was built and piloted in partnership with clubs all across New South Wales. We understand that every Club's needs are unique, so we have created this program to complement the way your organisation works.
Learning for Good, a DGR-1 registered charity, established the Safe Spaces program to bridge a critical gap: frontline club workers frequently encounter individuals experiencing Domestic and Family Violence (DFV) but often lack the training to safely intervene. Safe Spaces equips staff with the genuine confidence to recognise warning signs, handle disclosures safely, and connect individuals with professional support without overstepping professional boundaries — shifting club culture toward active, proud community care.
The Values That Guide Us
When we talk about Domestic and Family Violence, the way we think and act is incredibly important. The principles we follow are not just “nice ideas”, they are essential for keeping people safe.
We bring our own values and judgements to every situation. This course helps review these key principles and values so that we are aware and we don’t put ourselves or others in harm’s way.

Why it matters
Clubs are uniquely positioned to make a difference.
With over 13 million members and 140,000 staff across Australia, clubs are deeply embedded in their communities. They often see what others don't. And they're trusted to act.
DFV affects every community.
One in four women has experienced abuse from a partner. Clubs are places of connection and safety. This program helps ensure they're also places of support.
This is a global first.
Safe Spaces is the first Domestic and Family Violence education program purpose-built for the club environment, starting in NSW and built to scale.
What we believe
Three principles that shape every program, every module, and every conversation we have with a club.
The power of presence
A staff member who operates with genuine confidence commands a situation far better than one who is merely compliant. We design programs that build presence over panic, turning intimidation into impact. When people leave our training, they leave feeling grounded, energised, and entirely ready to own the room.
Tools, not talk
Our curriculum delivers actionable strategies over abstract talk, built specifically for the fast-paced dynamics of club environments. We don't train for the perfect, hypothetical scenario — we equip your team with the practical tools they need to confidently navigate the messy, unpredictable reality of the floor.
Turning trust into action
Compliance training is designed to protect organisations, but trust is what protects your people. Our programs go beyond mere box-ticking to build genuine safety within your team and community. We design for the human being on the floor, not just the audit trail.
Bring Safe Spaces to your venue
Whether you run a single community club or a group of clubs, we'll build a training pathway that fits your team size, schedule, and service environment.
