This role will hold a portfolio on development and implementation of statewide service models for the specialist family violence sector, in addition to other sector development activities.
In 2020, DV Vic/DVRCV released the 2nd edition of the Code of Practice: Principles and Standards for Specialist Family Violence Services for Victim-Survivors and implementation of the Code is a key sector development focus.
