The federal government has invited the public to give feedback on its upcoming national plan to reduce family, domestic and sexual violence.
All Australians can have their say on the plan through an online questionnaire, which is open until July 31. Additionally, a National Women’s Safety Summit will be held on July 29 and 30.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Wednesday said the summit which has already drawn criticism from domestic violence advocates would “further elevate the important national discussion we are having about women’s safety” and would build on the existing national plan.
“We don’t need more talking, we need action.”
Executive director of advocacy group Fair Agenda Renee Carr said the survey was “staggering”. “We don’t need a strawpoll on whether or not survivors get the best quality support and reform, we need leadership,” she said.
The survey, which will be open until 31 July, includes questions such as what are the major issues facing people experiencing gendered violence, what outcomes are most relevant for a national strategy against violence, and what could be improved to prevent family, domestic and sexual violence in Australia.

“What message does the Morrison Government think it’s sending to survivors, when it’s running a popularity poll on what support they should have as victims of crimes,” founder of End Rape on Campus, Sharna Bremner, said.
