Primary prevention means stopping violence against women from occurring in the first place by addressing its underlying drivers.
This Plan provides a blueprint for government, working in partnership with the broader community, to strengthen and expand efforts to prevent violence against women through the development and implementation of initiatives that target the underlying drivers of this violence.
The Framework has been developed for use by government and non‑government community service agencies, as well as community members, businesses, and others who may come into contact with people experiencing domestic and family violence. It articulates a shared understanding, language, and common approach to recognising, assessing, and responding to domestic and family violence, and offers fact sheets on best practice approaches. The Framework is evidence‑based and has been developed through a co‑design process with key stakeholders across Queensland.
These Guidelines are intended to support practitioners and others to make informed decisions about sharing information appropriately in order to assess and manage domestic and family violence risk. It aims to provide practical guidance on the interpretation and application of the information sharing provisions to promote consistent responses that help to keep the victim‑survivor safe and hold the person using violence to account.
This Framework takes a whole-of-system approach. Its guidance applies to organisations ranging from specialist DFV services to hospital emergency departments, veterinarian clinics and sport and recreation organisations. It provides advice for staff and volunteers working in roles involving direct service delivery and engagement with community members to organisational leaders and those working in policy and program development, human resources, research, and procurement.
This 3-year Action Plan is fundamental to addressing Target 13 of the National Agreement on Closing the Gap – By 2031, the rate of all forms of family violence and abuse against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and children is reduced by at least 50%, as progress towards zero.
The Action Plan defines shared decision-making, leadership, accountability, transparency and mechanism to transitions for funding to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations and capacity building as well as being community-led.
This Supervision Resource Guide, developed in partnership with YFS Logan, is to be adapted to suit the needs of your organisation. This guide is to be seen as an additional layer of supervision that can complement existing organisational or clinical supervision, providing direction on the live observation demands of domestic violence perpetrator intervention group work space. Supervisors with practice experience doing this work, provide critical insight for facilitators to help with their own skill development and engagement with the work.
Micah Projects’ Brisbane Domestic Violence Service values the opportunity to provide a submission to the Women’s Safety and Justice Taskforce highlighting women’s experience in the Criminal Justice System.
We have supported women in preparing their own submissions to the taskforce in addition to contributing to this submission, ensuring that the voices of women and children whose lives have been impacted by domestic and family violence are well represented.
