Ensure family violence offences are appropriately 'flagged'

Recommendation 081

Implemented

Who is leading the change

Department of Justice and Community Safety

The Victorian Government ensure that offences committed in the context of family violence are appropriately ‘flagged’ —for example, by:

  • enhancing current links between Victoria Police’s, courts’ and Corrections Victoria’s databases
  • amending the Family Violence Protection Act 2008 (Vic) to deem criminal offences committed in the context of family violence to be ‘family violence offences’ for the purposes of being recorded in relevant databases
