What is the 5-year legislative review?
The Family Violence Reform Implementation Monitor (FVRIM) was appointed to undertake an independent 5-year legislative review of Part 5A (the Family Violence Information Sharing Scheme (FVISS) and the Central Information Point (CIP)) and Part 11 (MARAM) of the Family Violence Protection Act 2008. The review aimed to determine if the provisions are being applied as intended, and are effective or otherwise in meeting their objectives.
What has been achieved so far?
The FVRIM sought the views of organisations, individual practitioners, advocates and others who may be impacted by the provisions through written submissions and consultations. The final report and Victorian Government response was tabled in Parliament on 17 August 2023.
The final report and Government response can be found here: Family Violence Information Sharing Scheme reviews | Victorian Government (www.vic.gov.au).
The Victorian Government will commence planning for implementing commitments made in the Victorian Government response.
