Appendices APPENDIX A: Key policy details Excerpts from: The national plan to reduce violence against women and their children, 2010-2022 (COAG, 2010) The vision of the National Plan is that ’Australian women and their children live free from violence in safe communities.’ To measure the success of this vision, governments have set a target for 'a significant and sustained reduction in violence against women and their children,' during the 12 years from 2010 to 2022. To know whether this target is being achieved, the following four high‐level indicators of change will be used to show progress: Reduced prevalence of domestic violence and sexual assault. Increased proportion of women who feel safe in their communities. Reduced deaths related to domestic violence and sexual assault. Reduced proportion of children exposed to their mother’s or carer’s experience of domestic violence. The National Plan includes six national outcomes (measures of success in brackets): Communities are safe and free from violence* (success will be measured by an increase in the community’s intolerance of violence against women) [*includes strategy ‘Advance gender equality’]. Relationships are respectful (success will be measured by improved knowledge of, and the skills and behaviour for, respectful relationships by young people). Indigenous communities are strengthened (success will be measured by reduction in the proportion of Indigenous women who consider that family violence, assault and sexual assault are problems for their communities and neighbourhoods; and increase in the proportion of Indigenous women who are able to have their say within their communities on important issues, including violence). Services meet the needs of women and their children experiencing violence (Success will be measured by an increase in the access to, and responsiveness of, services for victims of domestic and family violence and sexual assault) Justice responses are effective. (Success will be measured by an increase in the rate of women reporting domestic violence and sexual assault) Perpetrators stop their violence and are held to account (Success will be measured by a decrease in repeated partner victimisation). 67
