AMA submission to the Department of Social Services – Draft National Plan to end violence against women and children 2022-2032

Although this issue has been high on the national agenda over the past 12 months, there is significant work to be done to ensure the aspirations of the Draft National Plan to end violence against women and children (the Plan) are fully realised, and we see real change.

The AMA is concerned that the Plan lacks clear goals, targets and direction to articulate how we as a nation, are going to reduce incidents of violence against women and children. It lacks the fundamental details of a strategic plan: real commitment, timelines, funding, measurable outcome targets, and detailing who is responsible and accountable for reaching those targets. Several inquiries into this issue have already occurred and recommendations handed down. Now is the time to act.
