Key Government Reforms

The WIFVC operates in an operational context to respond to the following reforms:

• Victorian Government’s Royal Commission into Family Violence

• The Victorian Government’s 10-year Family Violence Rolling Action Plan ‘Free from Violence: Victoria’s strategy to prevent family violence and all forms of violence against women

• The National Plan to reduce violence against women and their children 2010-2022.

Recommendation #193 of the Royal Commission into Family Violence (RCFV) specifically recognised the value of Family Violence Regional Integration Committees as a vital component of the governance structure implementing the Commission’s recommendations and overseeing systemic improvements in family violence policy across Victoria.

The WIFVC is committed to:

• Working together to implement the relevant priorities through the various reforms

• Contributing our expertise, knowledge and experience to the various reforms

• Using the reform opportunity to improve local responses.
