Submission in response to the Department of Premier and Cabinet’s Call for Ideas for the Tasmanian Family Violence Action Plan - (SHE) July, 2015
This submission is SHE’s response to the call for ideas by the Department of Premier and Cabinet (DPAC) regarding the Tasmanian Family Violence Action Plan. SHE would like to thank the Department of Premier and Cabinet for allowing us to present our ideas about how the Tasmanian Family Violence Action Plan can best work to address domestic and family violence in the Tasmanian community. We are appreciative of the opportunity to make suggestions for the Action Plan, although we have some concern about the limited timeframe of two weeks for making submissions. We believe that more time is needed for all stakeholders to have the opportunity to take part in this discussion with particular emphasis given to people with lived experience of violence, both victims and perpetrators.

SHE is concerned that changes to the welfare system coupled with cutting back relevant support services will ultimately lead to an increase of domestic violence and abuse. SHE would like to thank the Reference Group for allowing us to present our submission to the Review of Australia’s Welfare System.

When your patient talks to you about violence or abuse
A toolkit for medical practitioners in Tasmania.
Leaving an Abusive Relationship?
Leaving an abusive or controlling relationship can be a very stressful and dangerous time as family violence is often heightened during a separation. Every woman’s situation is different but you don’t have to face separation alone. A family violence counsellor can provide you with emotional support and safety planning, particularly in the event you have to leave your partner in a hurry.
Reproductive Coercion - A General Practice Resource
Reproductive coercion is both a form of interpersonal abuse and a form of sexual violence. It is usually perpetrated against women by male partners and almost always manifests within a broader pattern of controlling behaviours known as ‘coercive control’.
Family Violence and the Workplace
Increasing numbers of Australian workplaces are introducing family violence workplace entitlements. Workplaces play a unique role in helping people who are living with violence and they have a responsibility to act if the effects of violence are flowing into someone’s work life.
