We work to change the culture and systems that hold gender inequity and violence in place.

The Alliance’s priorities include:

  • engaging broadly and directly with the family and sexual violence sector
  • seeking partnerships of respect and understanding with Tasmanian Aboriginal people
  • gaining deeper lived experience perspectives on service demand and innovative service approaches
  • identifying ways to meet current and projected need and demand for family and sexual violence services in Tasmania
  • responding to requests from government for whole-of-sector policy submissions relating to family violence, sexual violence and child sexual abuse
  • collecting and disseminating relevant state and national information to Tasmania’s family and sexual violence services sector.
