About the DFSV Commission

The DFSV Commission was established in 2022 as Australia’s first Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence Commission and an Executive Agency under the Public Service Act 1999

We are committed to supporting the achievement of the National Plan’s goal of ending violence against women and children in a generation.

We work towards this goal through four key objectives:

  1. Promote the National Plan to End Violence against Women and Children 2022–2032 and monitor its impact
  2. Amplify the voices of people with lived and living experience of violence for meaningful engagement in shaping policy design and service delivery
  3. Fostering collaboration and coordination across governments and communities to enhance connection and reduce fragmentation to improve outcomes
  4. Provide strategic advice to inform strengthened policy and practice, and improved outcomes.
