The Men’s Consultation Group was formed following the Men’s Leadership Forum held in July 2024 and began meeting in November 2024. The group brings together local men from a range of community, government, cultural, faith, sporting and professional backgrounds who are committed to preventing domestic and family violence in Wagga Wagga and surrounds.

The Group exists to continue the momentum of the Forum by providing a structured, supported space for men to reflect, learn, share responsibility, and develop community-led actions that address the drivers of violence. It is underpinned by trauma-informed, evidence-based primary prevention approaches and is aligned with the values and frameworks of the Wagga Women’s Health Centre.

Members meet regularly to exchange ideas, deepen understanding, plan local initiatives, and support accountability in their own spheres of influence. The Men’s Consultation Group recognises domestic and family violence as a community issue, and supports men to be active, responsible partners in creating safer, more respectful communities.
