"We're funding the ambulance and leaving the road unfixed." That's the core problem with how Australia responds to domestic and family violence. Crisis response — police and courts — are comparatively well resourced. Early intervention, the work that stops someone from using violence in the first place or from escalating their use of violence, gets just 3.6% of national DFV funding. Fewer than 2 in every 100 people who use this violence get any help to stop. Young people carry the weight of that gap: → 43.8% of 16–24 year-olds have already been exposed to domestic violence — higher than any other generation surveyed. → 1 in 5 young people in alcohol and other drug services are already victim-survivors of domestic and family violence. → And when a young person starts using violence themselves, they're often met with a referral to nowhere — not because practitioners don't want to help, but because age-appropriate programs are patchy, unfunded, or don't exist at all. The evidence tells us this is a genuine window for disruption: young men's use of violence is less entrenched than adults', with far greater capacity for change. We've seen it work — a relational, hybrid group-and-individual model piloted by Meli in Geelong lifted program retention from 12% to over 80%. No to Violence recently submitted our response to the Second Action Plan of the National Plan to End Violence against Women and Children: 21 recommendations for closing this gap, built on the largest practitioner study of its kind in Australia (150 practitioners), an 80+ source evidence review on young men's use of IPV, and real-world proof points. None of this would carry weight without the members and stakeholders who shaped it. Thank you to everyone who gave their time, expertise and lived living experience to this work. We're sharing a summary of what we're calling for below. Swipe through, and read the full summary here: ntv.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/NTV-Second-Action-Plan-Summary.pdf ...

No to Violence

1 week ago

Today, No to Violence launches From Fragmentation to Framework: Building an Ecosystem of Responses to End Men’s Use of Domestic and Family Violence.Drawing on the expertise of around 150 practitioners across Australia, the report sets out a national pathway to intervene earlier, strengthen accountability and stop violence before it escalates.Australia cannot keep relying on police, courts and prisons as the first meaningful response families receive. We need a connected national system that reaches men earlier, responds to different levels of risk and need, and keeps victim-survivor safety at its centre.The blueprint is here. Now governments need to build the system around it. Read the full report and explore the findings here: ntv.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/From-Fragmentation-to-Framework-Report_2026.pdf ...
