About the plan

The Australian, state and territory governments have agreed to a plan.

A document with a list on it.

The plan is called ‘Our Ways – Strong Ways – Our Voices: National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Plan to End Family, Domestic and Sexual Violence.’

A speech bubble with the words 'the plan' in it.

We also call it the plan.

Family and domestic violence is when someone close to you hurts you, such as:

your partner, like your boyfriend or girlfriend
a member of your family
someone who takes care of you
someone you live with.

Sexual violence is when someone hurts you in a sexual way.

For example, if someone does something sexual to you that you don’t want them to do.

We made the plan to help stop these types of violence happening to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
