Activity details
Transforming the broader system to ensure Aboriginal services have the capacity and capability to be the primary providers of healing and family violence and sexual assault services.
Implementation progress update
Four ACCOs deliver Aboriginal sexual assault services to community. The service model is Aboriginal-designed and led and aligns to Nargneit Birrang, the Aboriginal-led and co-designed statewide family violence holistic healing framework. The Aboriginal Sexual Assault Working Group provides ongoing oversight and monitoring of the service model.
In May 2024, Victoria's Strengthening Women’s Safety Package provided a funding boost to Aboriginal sexual assault services to ensure that more Aboriginal people, including children and young people can access culturally safe and appropriate holistic services delivered by Aboriginal-led services. The Victorian Government is working with the Aboriginal Sexual Assault Working Group to determine how the investment will be implemented to strengthen existing services and increase services available.
