About us
The Tasmanian Family and Sexual Violence Alliance is the peak body for the family and sexual violence sectors.
We work to change the culture and systems that hold gender inequity and violence in place.
In 2025, the Alliance’s priorities include:
- developing TFSVA’s membership base and governance framework
- 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.
