Responsible Men

Responsible Men is a behaviour-change program for men in the Logan area aged 18 years and above, who use violence or are controlling in their relationships.

We focus on how you can take responsibility to change your behaviour and decision-making without using violence, and how you can use this knowledge to make positive changes for healthy and safe relationships.

Through group work, we assist you to acknowledge and recognise your own behaviour and to change your verbal, financial and psychological abuse, stalking and other behaviours that instil fear.

We cover topics such as:

  • what domestic and family violence is
  • its impacts
  • values
  • beliefs.


We help you work out how to change your behaviour and how to maintain change.

Women who perpetrate domestic and family violence can access individual counselling services, but not group programs.

Who is eligible?

To join the program, you:

  • must think you have a problem with violence
  • be under Voluntary Intervention Orders, or
  • be referred by community or government agencies.
