The Department of Families, Fairness and Housing acknowledges adults, children and young people who have experienced family or sexual violence, including within our workforce. We recognise the vital importance of family violence system and service reforms being informed by their experiences, expertise and advocacy.
These guidelines are informed by insights from people with lived experience of family violence, including representatives of the Victim Survivors’ Advisory Council (VSAC). We are particularly grateful for their assistance ensuring the guidelines reflect the perspectives of practitioners with lived experience of family violence.
