An eight week public consultation project was launched recently inviting ideas from the domestic and family violence (DFV) sector, community groups and the public on ways to improve responses to victims and perpetrators of domestic violence in NSW.
Minister for the prevention of domestic violence and sexual assault Pru Goward the project as part of the state government's plan to develop a DFV Blueprint to enhance its response to DFV.
“We want to start a broad conversation with the public to gain a better understanding of what works in the current service system, what doesn’t work and where there are any gaps,” Ms Goward said.
“DFV services play a critical role in delivering services and support to people escaping violence every day.”
The consultation is now open and closes 5pm Friday 5 February 2016.
The public consultation is part of a multi-stage consultation process, which commenced in September with peak government and non-government agencies.
