DFV perpetrator strategy consultation—Consultation paper

This consultation paper is seeking community input to inform the development of the strategy. It is framed around 4 proposed areas of focus: prevention, early intervention, response and systemic reform.

The paper outlines the growing evidence relating to persons using violence and how best to respond to their behaviours while keeping victim-survivors safe. It supports discussion and reflection on the current interventions available to respond to persons using violence, and asks what else we can do to improve the system that holds people accountable for their actions while supporting them to change their abusive behaviours.
