The Government of South Australia has released a response to the final report of the Royal Commission into Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence.
Through an investment of $674 million over 10 years, the government will respond to the immediate safety needs of survivors and lay the foundation for sustainable reform.
The South Australian government’s response will span prevention, effective intervention, response, and recovery and healing, to deliver lasting systemic change.
A domestic, family and sexual violence ministerial portfolio has already been created and initial work underway includes the establishment of a Government Steward and a five-year statewide domestic, family and sexual violence strategy.
To deliver sustainable change, there must be a balance between immediate demands for community safety and justice with required reforms to large and complex systems and structures.
