  • Victoria Police Submission to the Royal Commission Into Family Violence
    SUBM.0923.001.0001 Victoria Police Submission to the Royal Commission into Family Violence Introduction Victoria Police welcomes the opportunity the Royal Commission into Family Violence provides to examine policing interventions and the broader system responses to the scourge of family violence. We recognise this is a unique environment for considering holistic change with: an Australian-first Royal Commission; a dedicated Minister for the Prevention of Family Violence; the prioritisation of family violence at the state and national levels; and a groundswell of community support for – and expectation of – reform. We have therefore used this occasion to challenge ourselves on the fundamentals of the existing system and to think creatively – but responsibly – about potential future directions. Victoria Police understanding of the focus of the Royal Commission Victoria Police understands the Royal Commission’s Terms of Reference and Issues Paper have a future focus on ensuring that Victoria has a system that: reduces the incidence of family violence; hold perpetrators to account; and supports victims in an effective, efficient and sustainable way. Specifically, the Terms of Reference require the Royal Commission to: provide practical recommendations to stop family violence; establish best practice for prevention, early intervention, victim support, perpetrator accountability; have systemic responses to family violence; better integrate and coordinate efforts; and recommend how best to evaluate and measure results. Victoria Police notes the significant focus on changing community attitudes to family violence. Our submission aims to support the Royal Commission by drawing on our work and experience in responding to family violence over the last decade to advise: what works, and why; what is not working, and why; and what system improvements can be made in the short, medium and longer term.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Victorian Public Service Enterprise Agreement 2020 (Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Act). It has been made by the State of Victoria. The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement. [2] Supplementary material provided with the application discloses that during the access period the employer became aware that 76 of the 50,719 employees to be covered by the Agreement had not been notified of the time and place at which the vote was to occur and the voting method to be used by the start of the access period as required by s.180(3) of the Act. The same 76 employees had likewise not been provided with a copy of, or access to, the written text of the Agreement as required s.180(2) of the Act. The Applicant submits that the employees concerned were provided with a copy of, or had access to, the written text of the Agreement and were notified of the time and place at which the vote was to occur and the voting method to be used prior to the conclusion of the access period. In all the circumstances, particularly the large number of employees covered by the Agreement and the very small number affected (significantly less than 1% of the cohort covered by the Agreement), notwithstanding the error, I am satisfied that there has been compliance.
