Submission to the Third Family Violence Rolling Action Plan

Safe and Equal supports the priorities listed in Strong Foundations: Building on Victoria’s work to end family violence (Strong Foundations):

• Drive down family and sexual violence
• Children and young people
• Strengthen support for victim survivors
• Respond to change
• Understand and demonstrate our impact

Our submission also highlights comprehensive advice to strengthen the priorities. We need the Victorian Government’s ongoing commitment to advocating at a Commonwealth level for these policies to improve outcomes for victim survivors and reduce family and gender-based violence.

With the need to continue to build a systems approach to the prevention and response to family violence, and with where we are in the reform journey, the success of this RAP depends on deep and meaningful engagement and collaboration with the family violence prevention and response sectors and the people we work to serve.
