A message from Natalie Hutchins MP, Minister for Prevention of Family Violence.
Section 193 of the Family Violence Protection Act 2008 (Vic) requires a report to be tabled in Parliament annually on the progress of MARAM implementation. This is the sixth report to be tabled.
The snapshot for 2023–24 includes details such as the significant increase in information sharing among practitioners, and increased engagement in the MARAM Annual Survey.
Leadership in these reforms requires strategic plans for change management, governance to monitor and support implementation efforts, consistent and accurate messaging, and sector readiness.
One objective of MARAM is to ensure its consistent use across prescribed organisations and services.
Successful implementation of the reforms requires practitioners to be appropriately trained in MARAM and information-sharing responsibilities.
MARAM is a complex reform, which is still in development, with new practice guidance recently released and more to come. Regardless, work is underway to assess progress.
Overview of legislation, policy, and frameworks that support Victoria’s response to family violence.
The three core components of MARAM are 4 pillars to guide organisational alignment, 10 practice responsibilities to set at the organisational level, and 10 principles to guide the service system.
Details on the 4 strategic priorities.
Organisations prescribed in Phase 1 and Phase 2 of MARAM.
The ministers, their portfolios and responsibilities for the 2023–24 reporting period.
