Domestic violence policy in Australia continues to ignore male victims and their families particularly when a relationship ends and children are involved.

We know that to have a significant impact on reducing the occurrence of family and domestic violence we must do more to ensure all victims regardless of their age, gender or sexuality are provided protection under domestic violence laws.

It's time to remove the gender bias and discrimination in policy that often enables the ongoing physical, financial, emotional and psychological abuse of vulnerable Australians.

FAMILY VIOLENCE REFORM

Our policy will enforce a zero tolerance approach to all family and domestic violence. Domestic violence legislation will be amended to ensure services and support will be provided to all victims regardless of their age, gender or sexuality.
