Virtual Empathy Educators

Domestic and family violence (DFV) is a significant issue in Australia, demanding early intervention strategies to improve attitudes. Workforces play a vital role in addressing DFV through bystander efforts, and VR is a promising tool to build empathy, increase prosocial behaviour, and enhance competencies in recognizing and responding to DFV.

This project aims at developing and delivering proven early interventions that leverage VR to create experiential and customised training for varied practice contexts. Through this, we aim to improve attitudes, beliefs, and knowledge towards DFV in the Australian workforce by fostering empathy and improving prosocial behaviours.
