The National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women and their Children 2010–2022

The Commonwealth Government's National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women and their Children 2010‐2022 brings together the efforts of governments across the nation to make a real and sustained reduction in the levels of violence against women.

The 12-year National Plan aims to connect the important work being done by all Australian governments, community organisations and individuals to ensure that each year, fewer women experience violence and more women and their children live safely.

The National Plan recognises that violence against women and their children is a complex problem that requires a long-term plan of action.

The National Plan will be implemented through four three‐year plans, and targets two main types of violence: domestic and family violence and sexual assault.
