Dan Murphy s workers will be taught to recognise the signs of domestic violence as part of a training scheme being rolled out to more than 28,000 staff.
Staff at the liquor chain, BWS and Jimmy Brings will start training in 1,400 stores nationally this week to help them notice customers who are victims of family violence.
The training program was set up after a young woman sought refuge from her male partner inside a BWS store earlier this year.

More than 28,000 staff across popular alcohol retailers such as Dan Murphy s, BWS and Jimmy Brings will receive training in how to recognise signs of domestic violence in the workplace. BWS managing director Scott Davidson said an incident at a Queensland store was one of the motivations to roll out training to staff working at its 1400 stores nationally from today. Recently in QLD, one of our store teams actually encountered a domestic violence issue where a young lady sought refuge inside one of our stores, Mr Davidson said. Our team reacted instinctively, close the doors and called the police immediately. The Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education (FARE) estimates alcohol is involved in up to 65 per cent of family violence incidents reported to the police.
