Activity details
The Strengthening Responses to Family and Domestic Violence System Reform Plan 2024 to 2029 (System Reform Plan) was a key outcome of the Family and Domestic Violence Taskforce. It was publicly released on 26 April 2024 to strengthen responses to family and domestic violence in Western Australia. An independent evaluation of the System Reform Plan is being commissioned to identify the impact of implementation across its 4 key pillars: workforce development; information sharing; risk assessment; and risk management. The Western Australian Government has also committed to twice yearly public reporting on implementation progress. Both the progress reports and the evaluation will help inform approaches and support the implementation of monitoring and evaluation frameworks for the Aboriginal Family Safety Strategy 2022-2032 and Path to Safety: Western Australia’s strategy to reduce family and domestic violence 2020–2030.
Implementation progress update
The impact evaluation was tendered in April 2025 and a contract was awarded in June 2025. The inaugural progress report on System Reform Plan implementation was released in December 2024, covering the period of April to the end of October 2024. During this time implementation was focused on establishing the foundations for reform. The report highlighted that most reform projects were at the planning or delivery stage. A second progress report is under development. For more information see Family and Domestic Violence - System Reform Plan.
