Safe at Home Operational Framework

In 2017, the Commonwealth Department of Social Services commissioned the Gendered Violence Research Network at UNSW, Sydney, to undertake a national Audit and evaluation of the services funded by the Commonwealth Keeping Women Safe in Their Homes (KWSITH) initiative, and the existing Safe at Home responses provided by states and territories. Safe at Home responses are provided in all Australian jurisdictions to assist women and their children to remain safely in their home and community, or a home or community of their choice, after leaving a violent relationship.
