Our Watch Institute

The Our Watch Institute is part of Our Watch , Australia’s national leader in preventing violence against women and children. With over a decade of experience and a globally recognised evidence base, we partner with businesses to embed gender equality into workplace culture.

We work to create safer, more respectful environments that contribute to lasting change. Our approach is grounded in evidence, combines deep expertise in primary prevention, and a commitment to genuine partnering.

"Goodman is extremely passionate about taking action to end violence against women in Australia, we encourage other workplaces to join us in this important challenge."

Our Watch has established the Institute with generous financial support from our founding partner, Goodman Foundation.

Revenue generated by the Our Watch Institute will allow our work with businesses to be sustainable and self-sufficient. This means other donations and government funding to Our Watch will continue to be dedicated to research, innovation and public policy work.
