NSW Strategy for the Prevention of Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence 2024-2028

The Pathways to Prevention: NSW Strategy for the Prevention of Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence (2024 – 2028) (PDF, 999.7 KB) is the first dedicated whole-of-government domestic, family and sexual violence primary prevention strategy.

This strategic plan is dedicated solely to the primary prevention of domestic, family and sexual violence and provides a coordinated approach to strengthen primary prevention work in NSW. It sits alongside other critical activity that spans early intervention, crisis responses, recovery and healing.

This strategy has been informed by existing efforts, gaps and opportunities in NSW. It draws on the diverse expertise and place-based knowledge of the NSW community sector, who provided their feedback through consultations, and a series of stakeholder engagement sessions that involved participation from almost 200 individuals and organisations, including Aboriginal stakeholders, specialist domestic, family and sexual violence services, government agencies, local government, sporting organisations, businesses and peak bodies. 

Addressing domestic, family and sexual violence requires commitment and action from all levels of society. This strategy is another step towards a shared goal; a NSW where all people are free from domestic, family and sexual violence.
