Information and Resources
Find practical information and tools that helps empower your community and spark real change.
Empowring communities
At WIRE, we recognise that gender and economic equity is not just about income and wealth. It’s about power, control, and agency.
Through years of engagement and community projects, we have created tools, resources and documentation that are co-designed with community and those who have lived experience on a whole range of issues such as safety, work rights, money or employment.
These tools and resources are accessible, inclusive and aim to provide information and guidance to community members and leaders.

Preventing and Responding to Family Violence: A Faith Leader's Practice Guide and Toolkit
Faith settings are important environments where social networks and social norms are formed and are therefore an important context in which we can target activities to prevent violence against women and family violence. This Faith Leader’s Practice Guide and Toolkit shares the best of Australian and international research evidence on the factors that cause and reinforce family violence in faith communities.
Preparation for Disaster: Financial Considerations
Based on The Gender, Disaster and Financial Wellbeing Project completed in 2021, WIRE developed a checklist of essential financial considerations for women before, during and in the recovery from disaster, such as bushfire. This is a tool that individuals can use themselves, or that financial counsellors and financial capability workers can guide clients through.
