Where we are up to
The Office of the Family Violence Principal Practitioner (OFVPP) continues to seek input from external (such as the Aboriginal Justice Caucus and Aboriginal Justice Agreement Phase 4 Burra Lotjpa Dunguludja Families, Women and Victims Collaborative Working Group) and internal services (such as the Koori Justice Unit and Aboriginal cultural awareness trainer) in enhancing consideration of and response to Aboriginal experiences of family violence.
For example, the OFVPP engaged Aboriginal stakeholders in the development of Justice Family Violence Reflections enabling consistent consideration of the needs of Aboriginal clients with family violence practice.
