The success of our family violence reforms depends on the strength of the workforces that deliver them.
In recognition of the importance of the workforce, the Royal Commission into Family Violence recommended that the Government develop a 10-year industry plan.
Building from Strength: 10-year Industry Plan for Family Violence Prevention and Response outlines the Victorian Government's long-term vision and plan for the workforces that prevent and respond to family violence.

About the plan
The plan sets out how the Victorian Government will work with stakeholders to create a flexible and dynamic workforce. The strategy builds on 4 themes:
- A system that works together.
- Building prevention and response capability across the system.
- Strengthening the specialist family violence and primary prevention workforces.
- Workforce health and wellbeing.
While the plan focuses on the specialist family violence and primary prevention sectors, it includes actions for other workforces that intersect with family violence including:
- community services
- health
- justice
- education and training
Implementation of the plan
Implementation of the plan will be supported by a series of rolling action plans. The first rolling action plan – Strengthening the Foundations: First Rolling Action Plan 2019-22 has now been acquitted. The current priority actions and continuing activities are outlined in Framing the Future: Second Rolling Action Plan 2023-26.
