Most domestic and family violence service systems end at the point of crisis exit. For women who have survived violence, financial dependency is one of the strongest predictors of return to a perpetrator, and one of the most under-resourced areas of the safety ecosystem. This presentation draws on Arise Foundation's delivery of trauma-informed employment pathways through the Employment Ready Program and Arise Academy. It sets out the design principles behind treating employment not as a transactional outcome but as stabilising safety infrastructure, and presents 6-month and 12-month outcomes data from program graduates — built into instruments designed for NAB and Women NSW reporting — that show what economic safety looks like beyond the crisis window. The session examines why mainstream employment services routinely fail survivors of coercive control and economic abuse, what trauma-informed program design actually requires, and how DFV services, employers, and economic justice infrastructure need to coordinate for safety to hold over time. Delegates leave with a working framework for embedding economic recovery into safety planning, and outcomes measurement tools they can adapt to their own services.
