A new federal commission will be set up to combat domestic violence as part of a plan to build on $1.1 billion in budget spending with a new five-year funding scheme for emergency support.
Women’s Safety Minister Anne Ruston will release the draft plan on Friday after fielding calls for a more ambitious policy at the September national summit on women’s safety. Senator Ruston said in a statement ahead of the plan’s release the persistently high rates of family, domestic and sexual violence “is a national shame and we must focus on driving down the level of violence toward zero”.
The new Family, Domestic and Sexual Violence Commission is intended to operate like the Mental Health Commission, which is chaired by Lucinda Brogden and advises the government on the scale of the problem and the effectiveness of policy measures.With states and territories reporting differently on family violence and using different schemes to tackle the problem, the new commission is meant to offer a peak view of what is working. The head of the commission is yet to be named.
Ms Kinnersly said there had been decades of work on the problem but only really a decade of coordinated effort through national measures in areas like policing, legal support, housing and prevention.“We are now in a position where this national plan has got every state and government committed, a greater understanding in policing and legal areas, and so forth,” she said.
