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.
