Responding more effectively to family violence is a key component of the Government's social policy action plan: A Fairer Victoria: Creating opportunity and addressing disadvantage.
The Government has committed $35.1 million over four years to deliver a new approach to family violence services in Victoria.
The Victorian Government's new approach to family violence means that community services, police and the courts will now work together to make Victorian women and children safer, and hold men who use family violence accountable for their actions.
