ABOUT US The Women's and Girls' Emergency Centre (WAGEC) is a non-government, not-for-profit, charitable organisation that supports clients in crisis and advocates for social change in the community. By 'client', we refer to all women (cis and trans), families and non-binary people comfortable in women-centric spaces. We work across Sydney, on the lands of the Gadigal, Wangal and Dharug people of the Eora Nation and our Prevention activities extend across many Aboriginal nations and language groups.

We seek always to work respectfully in partnership with communities and in accordance with local protocols.

For over 45 years we have been doing this work in partnership with community, business and government stakeholders. Every night, we support 200 clients impacted by homelessness, domestic violence and systemic disadvantage. Equally, we seek to address the underlying causes of gender-based violence through primary prevention activities to end gender-based violence in a generation.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW - ALL IN

All In is a multi-year primary prevention of gender-based violence program that works directly with adults. We engage early childhood education professionals, families, communities and other influential adults, giving them the skills, knowledge and confidence to actively challenge gender stereotypes that impact negatively on children in the early years.

All in contributes to the primary prevention of gender-based violence in NSW through delivering gender equality and respectful relationships education to influential adults in early childhood education and community settings. It supports the prevention of violence by providing influential adults with practical tools to support children in developing healthy, respectful relationships and valuing people of all genders from their early years.

The All In program is a major strategic and policy initiative funded and endorsed by NSW Government under the Pathways to Prevention Strategy 2024-2028.

THE ROLE The All In facilitators play a critical role in delivering a whole-of-community approach to preventing domestic, family, and sexual violence (DFSV) in NSW. The facilitators deliver workshops, training, coaching and resources across early childhood education and care (ECEC) centres, influential adults and the wider community in both ECEC and community-based settings.

Each facilitator develops and nurtures a portfolio of relationships with centres, local community organisations and local government. They contribute to building a community culture that promotes gender equality, respectful relationships, and inclusion for all children in the early years. Facilitators work collaboratively within the All In team to ensure programs and content are evidence-informed, strengths-based, culturally safe for all communities. All In’s model is based on and closely aligned with, principles of Aboriginal self-determination, inclusivity, and respectful partnerships.

First

Nations facilitators will be directly line-managed by the All In Delivery Lead. All facilitators will build relationships with local centres,



services and community organisations in their region.

Given the nature of prevention work in domestic, family and sexual violence, facilitators are required to engage in regular clinical supervision to support professional growth, wellbeing, and the management of vicarious trauma. This reflective practice helps maintain safe, ethical, and sustainable delivery of programs. WAGEC provides access clinical supervision for staff, and/or cultural supervision for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff in recognition that facilitators require specialist skills to navigate complex dynamics such as resistance, backlash, and disclosures of DFSV.
