Tasmania’s Third Family and Sexual Violence Action Plan 2022-2027: Survivors at the Centre is the Tasmanian Government’s coordinated, whole-of-government action plan to respond to family and sexual violence.

Our vision is that all Tasmanians are safe, equal and respected, and that our homes, families and communities are free from all forms of family and sexual violence.

Survivors at the Centre represents the next stage of the Government’s long-term commitment to preventing and responding to family violence.

Survivors at the Centre commits $100 million over the next 5 years for 38 actions to prevent and respond to family and sexual violence in Tasmania. These include innovative new actions, and enhanced actions from the previous Action Plan.

The actions are guided by four key principles:

Partnership and Transformation
Capacity Building
Prevention and early intervention
Voice and Diversity

Survivors at the Centre has been informed, and will continue to be informed, by a sustained and deep community conversation about family and sexual violence.

The actions in Survivors at the Centrewill evolve, and be added to, over the life of this Action Plan, as we continue to listen, learn and respond.

Survivors at the Centre is implemented through a coordinated and collaborative effort between Tasmanian Government agencies, non-government and community partners.

Together, we can create a Tasmania free from family and sexual violence.
