The evidence given by experts will help inform recommendations to be handed by the commission to the Victorian state government at the end of the year
The public hearings of Australia’s first royal commission into family violence began in Victoria on Monday. On each one of the 20 days of hearings planned, the commission will tackle a different aspect of family violence, while examining how systems across the state are responding to it.
The evidence given by experts in the sector will help inform the recommendations to be handed by the commission to the state government at the end of the year. The Victorian government has promised to adopt every recommendation, and it is expected this will have influence on policy nationally.
