Family violence and sexual assault policies and procedures

Family violence referrals and reports by Victoria Police are made through the Victoria Police Risk Assessment Management Report (L17) to child protection and community service organisations.

The Department of Families, Fairness and Housing has worked in partnership with Victoria Police, Department of Justice and Regulations and community service organisations to streamline L17 referrals and reports by creating the L17 Family Violence Portal for child protection and family violence outreach services.

Training
An online training course has been developed to provide a comprehensive overview of the L17 Family Violence Portal.
