About the National Plan
The National Plan to End Violence against Women and Children 2022–2032 (National Plan) is the overarching national policy framework that will guide actions towards ending violence against women and children in one generation.
It builds on the lessons learned from the previous National Plan that covered 2010 to 2022.
All people deserve to live safely and free from fear of violence. We know that this will require a whole of society effort, and we need everyone in the community, industry and government to come together to end family, domestic and sexual violence.
The National Plan focuses on 4 main areas:
- Prevention – stopping violence before it starts
- Early intervention – helping early when people are at risk
- Response – supporting people when violence happens
- Recovery and healing – helping people heal and rebuild their lives.
The National Plan committed to developing a plan for First Nations family safety. We worked together to develop Our Ways – Strong Ways – Our Voices: National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Plan to End Family, Domestic and Sexual Violence 2026-2036. It will sit alongside the National Plan and will guide a whole of society approach to reducing the high and disproportionate rates of violence against First Nations peoples.
