Jac offers family violence consultation as well as group and individual supervision for specialist family violence and related sectors to explore accountability, solidarity and sustainability in their work.
Group supervision and Family Violence Informed Communities of Practice
Jac offers group supervision for family violence and related sectors. Jac’s approach to group supervision centres the shared values and goals of the group and leverages these to explore tensions in team dynamics, challenges in the work and to build on successful work practices. Jac’s supervision draws on theoretical underpinnings of intersectional feminism and kyriarchy (structural understandings of power and privilege), Response Based Practice, Safe and Together, anti-oppressive practice, trauma and violence informed practice and learnings from activist movements.
Jac also offers Family Violence Communities of Practice to support workforces to come together, learn from each other and embed the learnings from family violence training in their individual, team and program work.
Jac offers group supervision in person in Melbourne or via Zoom across Australia.

Individual supervision
Jac offers individual clinical supervision for people working in specialist family violence and related roles who want to explore sustainability, solidarity and accountability in their work. Jac’s individual supervision space is centred on the supervisee’s values and intentions. Jac draws on her own practice wisdom, knowledge gained from working collaboratively with people with lived experience of structural inequality and violence as well as formal education.
Jac offers individual supervision via Zoom or phone across Australia or in person by arrangement.
Jac charges $180 per hour for individual supervision, with discounts available for individuals paying directly.

Individual supervision testimonial
Jac approaches supervision with warmth, clarity and a deep felt respect for those she works with. She is highly skilled in using Narrative approaches to draw out stories of resistance and strength, while still holding those she works with accountable, and ethical, in their work. Jac was able to work with me to provide the support and validation that I needed to be able to stay in the work, when I wanted to stay, and to move out of that work, when I wanted to leave. I came to Jac feeling stuck and hopeless and as we finished our supervision sessions I have come away reminded of my strengths and skills, as well as genuinely seen and valued. Thanks Jac!
