- 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.

The National Plan to End Violence against Women and Children 2022-2032
The National Plan is the overarching national policy framework that will guide actions towards ending violence against women and children in one generation.
It highlights how all parts of society need to work together to end gender-based violence in one generation.
The National Plan outlines this vision across 4 domains:
Prevention – stopping it before it starts by changing underlying social drivers of violence, and addressing the attitudes and systems that drive violence against women and children.
Early intervention – identifying and supporting individuals who are at high risk of experiencing or perpetrating violence, and prevent it from reoccurring.
Response – providing services and supports to help victim-survivors experiencing violence. This includes crisis support, police intervention and a trauma-informed justice system that will hold people who use violence to account.
Recovery and healing – helping to reduce the risk of re-traumatisation by supporting victim-survivors as they recover from their trauma. This includes the physical, mental, emotional and economic impacts of violence.
