Path to Safety
Path to Safety: Western Australia’s Strategy to Reduce Family and Domestic Violence 2020 – 2030 sets out a clear whole-of-government and community plan for reducing and responding to family and domestic violence over the next decade.
The strategy has four focus areas:
- work with Aboriginal people to strengthen Aboriginal family safety
- act immediately to keep people safe and hold perpetrators to account
- grow primary prevention to stop family and domestic violence
- reform systems to prioritise safety, accountability and collaboration.
The Strategy is supported by action plans that set out what needs to be done to achieve the long-term vision of all Western Australians living free from family and domestic violence.
