The Morrison Government has opened public consultation on the next National Plan to reduce family, domestic and sexual violence in Australia.
From tonight, all Australians can add their views and voices to the consultation via an online questionnaire, available on the Engage website.
Women who have experienced violence, family safety advocates, service providers and other stakeholders will also be invited to take part in a two-day National Women’s Safety Summit to be held on 29 and 30 July.
The Summit was agreed as part of the establishment of the Taskforce on Women’s Safety in December last year.
The summit will include keynote addresses, panel discussions and workshops focused on issues affecting women’s safety as well as a series of roundtables that will contribute insights and help determine priorities for the next National Plan.
