This statement sets out the Victorian Government's long-term vision for the creation of a family violence system that is more inclusive, responsive and accessible to all Victorians. It acknowledges and recognises the diversity inherent within each of us, and the need for family violence and universal services to build a better understanding
of the barriers that can prohibit inclusion and access through the understanding and application of an intersectionality framework.

The Statement’s vision for an inclusive, safe, responsive and accountable system for all Victorians will mean that anyone seeking help for family violence will be able to choose what service they access and know they will
receive the help they need.

The next step is to develop an Inclusion and Equity Blueprint, over three stages, that will identify the actions required to achieve the long-term vision outlined in this statement. (From the Foreword and website). See also the Diversity and intersectionality framework (2 pages). Record #6218
