Current projects:

Sexual Violence Prevention Pilot
This project aims to pilot approaches to build community acceptance, awareness and support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander LGBTQ+SB people at risk of sexual violence. Restorative Yarns will engage with local LGBTQ+SB people through yarning circles to determine community priorities for future development of sexual violence prevention approaches for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Consultations will be held through a series of yarning circles and workshops in the east coast of Australia, including in QLD, NSW and VIC. Restorative Yarns will co-develop resources and tools that will raise awareness of sexual violence prevention and create a model and framework that can be used in other Aboriginal community settings. This is a 2-year project and will run until June 2025.

Transforming Justice Australia
This project aims to pilot community based restorative practices by providing services to people harmed by and responsible for, sexual harm, their families and communities in a key region. Restorative Yarns will engage and consult with identified communities to respond to sexual harm using restorative and transformative approaches to support healing, justice, community accountability, and to prevent future harm. A range of services that support people who are impacted by sexual harm in their justice, healing and recovery will be utilised. We plan to deliver activities under three program/initiative areas:

a. Survivor centred restorative justice in response to sexual harm
b. Community based accountability support services, and
c. Community engagement and development

Delivering a suite of activities under these initiatives services in a key health region enables the opportunity to work closely with organisations in the region in aligned response and recovery roles such as sexual assault services and services supporting adults and children responsible for sexual harm, or at risk of causing harm to access support, receive education and casework services and for professional development, sector capacity building and relationship development.

This is a 1 year project and will run until June 2026.
