Submissions are an important mechanism through which we give feedback to the Government and other bodies on the work they’re doing. We consult with our members and stakeholders through surveys, roundtables, forums and meetings to bring the voice and experiences of our members and their clients to each and every submission, report and briefing paper. You can find our submissions below.

Domestic Violence NSW would like to acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across the breadth and depth of Australia, including the traditional custodians on the land on which DVNSW operates, the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation.
Domestic Violence NSW acknowledges that we live work and play on Aboriginal land. We pay our respects to elders past, present and future and give thanks to the Gadigal people of the Eora nation, on which we are housed. Always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.
