Margaret Augerinos – Covid impacts on CNV – Family Violence – Comments and Musings

During 2020 Margaret Augerinos has led the adaptive change that has been necessary to keep staff and clients safe from Covid, whilst also being focused on keeping vulnerable women and children safe from family violence. When the referral numbers dropped rapidly the Centre for Non Violence quickly used social media and mainstream TV, print, and radio to let people know that they were still open and able to provide support. 

Margaret Augerinos is the CEO of the Centre for Non Violence, which provides support to women and children experiencing violence, and for men who want to change their use of violence. Margaret has worked in the family violence sector for many years and has advocated for change in Victoria, nationally, and in international forums.
