AMA submission: Consultation on the Second Action Plan (National Plan to End Violence against Women and Children 2022–2032)

The AMA submission calls for stronger, better integrated responses to violence against women and children, with victim-survivors’ safety, recovery and wellbeing at the centre. The AMA highlights the need for trauma-informed care, culturally safe and accessible services, sustained workforce investment, and clearer referral pathways across health, legal, housing, education and social service systems. The submission also urges stronger prevention, early intervention and accountability measures to address family, domestic and sexual violence as a major public health issue.
