Introduction

This is a report on monitoring of the Victorian Government’s implementation of family violence reforms as at 1 November 2019.

Context

The Royal Commission into Family Violence (the Royal Commission) handed down its report and recommendations at the end of March 2016.

Specialist Family Violence Courts

The Magistrates’ Court of Victoria has had a range of ‘specialist’ family violence powers, functions and services operating for many years at some of its nearly 60 court locations.

Multi-Agency Risk and Management Framework (MARAM)

Risk assessment, in a family violence context, is a complex, comprehensive, ongoing and dynamic process that should inform everything from screening to response and ongoing management.

Perpetrator accountability

The Royal Commission made eight recommendations about increasing the accountability of perpetrators of family violence.

The Orange Door

The Royal Commission recommended that 17 Support and Safety Hubs (‘the Hubs’) be established, one in each of DHHS’ geographic areas, to improve the experience of people seeking family violence service

Voices of victim survivors

The Royal Commission recommended that the voices of victim survivors are heard and inform both policy development and service planning.

Whole-of-reform matters

Monitoring during the period to 1 November 2019 identified some matters which apply across multiple areas of the reform.
