The NSW Domestic and Family Violence Blueprint for Reform 2016-2021: Safer Lives for Women, Men and Children (PDF , 674.5 KB) sets out the directions and actions to reform the domestic violence system in NSW.
In 2016-17, the NSW Government invested more than $300 million over four years to the specialist domestic and family violence response, more than doubling the investment in specialist domestic and family violence services and initiatives. This investment will also support the implementation of the Blueprint. In the 2019-20 Budget this commitment was extended to $431 million over four years.
The NSW Government is working in partnership with non-government organisations, the private sector and the broader community to build a more effective domestic and violence system that embeds primary prevention activities to change community attitudes, reduces re-offending, and ultimately stops domestic and family violence before it eventuates.
