Domestic, family and sexual violence reduction
Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence Reduction Framework 2018-2028
The Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence Reduction Framework 2018-2028 represents our ten year strategy to reduce domestic, family and sexual violence. It builds on the achievements of the Northern Territory Government’s previous domestic and family violence strategy – Safety is Everyone’s Right. This new framework – Safe, Respected and Free from Violence – reflects our combined efforts, knowledge and ideas to reduce violence and work together to achieve safer homes, communities, workplaces and schools.

Action Plan 1
Action Plan 1: Changing Attitudes, Intervening Earlier and Responding Better (2018-2021) focuses on the first phase of implementation and describes how government will implement actions under five key outcomes:
- Domestic, family and sexual violence is prevented and not tolerated
- Territorians at risk of experiencing violence are identified early and provided with effective interventions
- People experiencing domestic, family and sexual violence are protected and helped to recover and thrive
- Perpetrators are held accountable and connected early to responses that change their behaviours and reduce violence
- Legislation, policy and funding models enable a responsive, high quality and accountable domestic, family and sexual violence service system.
