SAFE + EQUAL – PREVENTX 2026: STORIES FOR CHANGE Conference
March 24, 2026 @ 9:30 am - March 25, 2026 @ 5:00 pm
PreventX is Australia’s leading conference on the prevention of family and gender-based violence, bringing together practitioners to reflect, connect and explore how storytelling can drive meaningful and lasting change.
In 2026, PreventX returns as an in-person event with an online component, combining the energy of in-person connection with the accessibility of virtual engagement.
Hosted by Safe and Equal, PreventX is one of the largest gatherings of professionals working to prevent family and gender-based violence in Australia. Since 2019, it has brought together hundreds of practitioners from across the country to share insights, strategies and learnings on how to build momentum for long-term change.
In 2026, we’re coming together again with a renewed focus: What stories of impact are we seeing in our work? And how can we use storytelling to make our work possible?
