Multidisciplinary Response Model Project

This project developed a business case for the establishment of multidisciplinary integrated response in the Southern Melbourne region addressing repeat and chronic family violence cases.

The CIJ consulted widely across the relevant stakeholders in the area, and also reviewed relevant material and data, to identify the strengths and challenges of the region’s current response and to make suggestions for reform in light of the recommendations of the Royal Commission into Family Violence.
