The Family and Domestic Violence System Reform Plan, which sets out an unprecedented five-year program of reform for responding to family and domestic violence in Western Australia, commits Government to twice yearly public reporting on implementation progress.
The second progress report, covering the second six months of implementation from November to April 2025, shows significant progress on the delivery of the reform actions outlined in the plan, including:
- Establishment of a Lived Experience Advisory Group, with the appointment of 12 members from diverse backgrounds;
- Work to establish a workforce entity which will better support sector agencies, organisations and workers;
- Progressed steps to improve information sharing with the completion of the design of the Central Information Point (CIP) technical solution;
- Commenced consultation on the draft Common Risk Assessment and Risk Management Framework and the Aboriginal Family Violence risk assessment tool;
- More than 100 referrals to the Thriving Families clinically-led intervention pilot program;
- Onboarded 12 family safety officers to Family and Domestic Violence Response Teams (FDVRTs) with a total of 28 out of 34 positions filled;
- 7-day per week FDVRT operation over 2024 Christmas and 2025 Easter periods.
