Tanya Plibersek also addresses the work which is being done in First Nations communities:

The devastating reality is that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women are 33 times more likely than other Australian women to be hospitalized due to family violence, and up to seven times more likely to be homicide victims.

Right now, we’re finalising ‘Strong ways, Our voices’, the first standalone Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander plan to end family, domestic and sexual violence, which has been developed in close partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

We continue to work closely with Aboriginal and Torres, Strait Islander peoples across the country, so that government policies and investment will have the greatest impact.
