Our Mission

Collaborating with organisations to strengthen their response to domestic violence and shaken baby syndrome through specialised, experience- and research-based training. We equip professionals to recognise red flags, intervene safely, and support victims effectively. 

We provide consulting work with experience in criminal investigations to help organisations understand where systems succeed, where they fail, and how to better identify, document, and respond to domestic violence and abusive head trauma cases before they escalate.

Prevention isn’t just education—it’s strategy, policy, and accountability.

The Team

Kellie-Lee is a former law enforcement officer and lawyer specialising in domestic violence and knowledge involved in a ‘Shaken Baby Syndrome’ or now known in some places as Abusive Head Trauma”. A survivor of domestic violence and an initial suspect in a shaken baby syndrome criminal case, her career in criminal justice and law was shaped by first-hand experience with systems designed to protect victims.

Domestic Violence - Training prospects

Domestic violence is often viewed as a social issue — but for organisations, it is also a measurable operational and financial risk.
How cases are identified, documented, and managed directly impacts liability, staff time, case outcomes, and long-term costs. 

 

All employees can access 10 days of paid family and domestic violence leave each year. This includes full-time, part-time and casual employees.

Employees must be experiencing family and domestic violence to be eligible to take paid family and domestic violence leave.


Kellie-Lee is a lawyer and former police officer who delivers trauma-informed training to healthcare systems, focused on improving early identification, strengthening documentation, and enhancing cross-agency response in domestic violence cases. Her work is informed by both professional practice and lived experience.

Shaken Baby Syndrome - Presentation

Kellie-Lee is a lawyer and former police officer who brings a rare perspective shaped by her lived experience in a shaken-baby-syndrome case. Through her work, she shares insight into how these cases develop and provides education designed to improve recognition, strengthen response, and prevent escalation. 

Shaken Baby Syndrome Case - A Mother’s Journey Through an Abusive Head Trauma Case

This keynote shares a firsthand account of navigating an abusive head trauma investigation as a mother — and the lasting impact of how those cases are identified, handled, and understood.

Years later, with experience in both law enforcement and the legal field, Kellie-Lee now examines that experience through a professional lens — offering insight into how systems respond under pressure, where misunderstandings occur, and how critical decisions are made in real time.

This presentation is not about revisiting the past — it is about improving future response.


Audiences gain:

  • A grounded understanding of how these cases unfold from the inside 
  • Insight into the real-world impact of early assumptions and decisions 
  • Greater awareness of communication gaps between professionals and families 
  • A clearer understanding of how system response shapes outcomes
