To guide this important work, the Victorian Government has launched Until every Victorian is safe: Third rolling action plan to end family and sexual violence 2025-2027.
This plan supports the implementation of the 10-year family violence reform plan, Ending Family Violence: Victoria’s Plan for Change.
Until every Victorian is safe explains what the Victorian Government will do to prevent and respond to family and sexual violence. It outlines 106 actions, which all parts of the Victorian Government must work together to achieve over the next three years.
Until every Victorian is safe includes four focus areas that explain the Victorian Government’s approach:
- Whole of person– understanding that everyone has different needs, making sure that our actions consider people’s unique experiences and needs
- Whole of family– recognising that families can be both a source of harm and safety, meaning that we need to understand a person’s family context when providing support
- Whole of community– encouraging people to challenge the attitudes and systems that drive family and sexual violence, including by preventing violence in places where Victorians live, work, study and play
- Whole of system– refining laws, services, and processes to work together to more effectively prevent and respond to family and sexual violence.
Extensive stakeholder engagement shaped this plan, bringing diverse voices and experiences into practical actions.
Family violence remains widespread across Victoria. It is fuelled by gender inequality and harmful gender stereotypes, in a society where women are still treated as unequal to men on many levels.
Ending family violence involves everyone. We all have a role to play – at home, at work and in our communities.
