No to Violence

What No to Violence does

No to Violence (NTV) is Australia's national peak body for organisations and individuals committed to ending men's use of family violence. Incorporated in Victoria as ACN 625 397 944 and headquartered at Level 6, 357 Collins Street, Melbourne, NTV delivers its mission through three interconnected streams. First, it operates the Men's Referral Service (MRS), a 24/7 national telephone (1300 766 491) and online webchat counselling and referral service that received more than 10,000 calls and webchats during 2024-25, linking men who have chosen to use violence to behaviour change programs and specialist support services. Second, it runs training and professional development programs including MARAM (Multi-Agency Risk Assessment and Management) training, the Five Essential Discussion Tools training, and Communities of Practice webinars, alongside Australia's most comprehensive searchable National Directory of Services for specialist family violence providers. Third, it undertakes sector advocacy, policy submissions, research, and awareness campaigns such as 'Change Is Your Call' to drive systemic reform and keep family violence on the national political agenda, including active engagement during federal election cycles.

NTV's business model is funded primarily through Commonwealth and state/territory government contracts and grants, including a specific funded partnership with Family Safety Victoria for the MARAM Sector Support Program. Services to the public are provided free of charge, while training and membership programs generate supplementary income from sector practitioners and organisations. NTV reaches its audiences through a multi-channel approach spanning organic social media (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube), paid media around major sporting broadcasts, email newsletters, media releases, election campaigns, webinars, and an annual national conference (Hobart, March 2026 in partnership with Stopping Family Violence and SPEAQ). It collaborates strategically with the Centre for Excellence in Child and Family Welfare, Safe and Equal, Family Safety Victoria, Jannawi Family Services, and member organisations across Australia. Technology is not a core competency — NTV is a human-delivered behaviour change intervention provider, with web-based service delivery (mrs.org.au, training.ntv.org.au, events.ntv.org.au) functioning as access channels rather than AI-driven platforms. The operating context is a large and well-documented addressable problem: approximately one in three Australian men self-report using intimate partner violence, more than one in four Australian women have experienced it since age 15, and the annual economic cost to Australia is estimated at $28 billion.

Regional players

• DV Connect: Queensland's principal domestic and family violence telephone service and crisis accommodation provider. Comparable as a state-level DFV helpline service with government funding and sector training.

Broad incumbents

• Relationships Australia: Federation of state-based relationship support services including family violence counselling, men's behaviour change programs, and mediation. Comparable on men's behaviour change and family counselling services, with broader scope beyond DFV.

Direct peers

• Safe and Equal: Victoria's peak body for family violence prevention and response. Directly comparable sector role to NTV at the state level, and a documented partner via the MARAM webinar series, indicating overlapping mandates on family violence reform.
• Full Stop Australia: National sexual, domestic, and family violence counselling and education service. Comparable as a national DFV service provider with government funding, helpline operations, and sector training offerings.
• MensLine Australia: National 24/7 telephone and online counselling service for men, including on relationship issues, anger, and family violence. Peer because it serves the same end-user demographic (Australian men) with national helpline delivery, partially overlapping with the Men's Referral Service's perpetrator-intervention focus.
• Stopping Family Violence: Western Australian not-for-profit specifically focused on perpetrator response. Documented partner of NTV on the 2026 National Conference, with overlapping mission in men's behaviour change work.
• 1800RESPECT: National Australian sexual and family violence counselling service funded by the federal government. Highly comparable to NTV's Men's Referral Service in scale, channel mix (telephone + online), and government-backed service delivery model, although 1800RESPECT primarily serves victim-survivors rather than perpetrators.
• Our Watch: Australia's national primary prevention organisation working to prevent violence against women. Peer because it operates as a national peak body with government funding, advocacy, and research outputs in the same DFV ecosystem as NTV.
• Meli (Men's Family Violence Intervention Centre): Victorian specialist service delivering men's behaviour change programs (MBCP) and perpetrator interventions. Comparable service model (MBCP facilitation, training, sector work) and appears in NTV's documented training and MARAM delivery.

Others

• ANROWS: Australia's National Research Organisation for Women's Safety, funded by federal and state governments. Comparable as a national organisation working on DFV evidence base and policy, but focused on research rather than direct service delivery.
