Activity details

Take Action to Prevent, Believe and Heal Report. The consultations will inform activities to prevent and respond to sexual assault in the ACT.
Implementation progress update
The ACT Government engaged Curijo Pty Ltd, a 100% Aboriginal female owned and led business, to undertake consultation with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community on 4 key domestic, family and sexual violence reform areas.
Consultation occurred between February and April 2024. In May 2024, the ACT Government received Curijo's final report, which provides recommendations across the 4 reform areas including: the Victim Survivor Voices Project, Information Sharing Project, the Multi‑Disciplinary Centre and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander worker and community training.
Following the 2024 Curijo consultation, Sisters in Spirit Aboriginal Corporation has been funded to partner with Women's Health Matters on the Victim Survivor Voices Project. The project will uplift the voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander victim-survivors and ensure First Nations peoples are strongly represented.
