How can WA services better support LGBTIQA+ people who experience intimate partner violence (IPV)?

Calling for participants for focus group discussion!

Are you LGBTIQA+, aged 18+, and have experienced intimate partner violence (IPV), or supported as LGBTIQA+ person who has?

Curtin researchers want to hear your opinions on how services could better meet the support needs and preferences of LGBTIQA+ individuals experiencing intimate partner violence.

Your opinions will be used to generate recommendations to WA services.

You will be given the option of attending either a 2-hour small focus group or a 1-hour 1:1 interview, held online or face-to-face at Curtin University.

You will be reimbursed for your time with a Coles-Myer eGift Card ( for face-to-face participation) or a Coles eGift card (for online participants).

To participate in the focus group, please complete the online form at bit.ly/SOFAFocus
