Help shape our plan to stop violence before it starts.

The Northern Territory Government has released a draft Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence (DFSV) Prevention and Response Roadmap 2025–2028.

About the Roadmap

This Roadmap sets out how we are investing $36 million a year in ongoing, sustainable funding to reduce violence, support victim survivors, and hold people who use violence accountable. It includes early intervention programs, specialist services, community-led prevention initiatives, and training for frontline workers.

We want to hear from you. Your feedback will help us make sure our actions meet the needs of all Territorians and reflect the voices of our communities.
