This report evaluates the Safe Teams, Strong Businesses toolkit and workshop, developed by WHISE and Women’s Health and Wellbeing Barwon South West in partnership with two regional tourism bodies to help Victoria’s tourism, hospitality and events sector prevent workplace gender-based violence. The toolkit was co-designed with industry and launched at a regional tourism conference in August 2026. The evaluation draws on a post-workshop survey, key informant interviews and a project team reflection, and finds that participants consistently shifted their understanding and left with concrete actions to take. It also examines what is needed to sustain the toolkit’s reach beyond the project’s end, including embedding it in ongoing industry promotion and regulator relationships.
