Between 2002 and 2008, the work of the Victorian government focused on coordinating state and NGO responses to violence.3 At the same time, a statutory health promotion foundation called VicHealth developed a sound evidence base and funded small community prevention programmes to build on the data. These parallel paths prepared the way in 2009 for the prevention plan, called A Right to Respect: Victoria‟s Plan to Prevent Violence Against Women.4 The plan came about after almost a decade of work involving legislative and policing changes and whole-of-government coordination."
