Domestic and family violence fatality review teams overview

There are growing expectations at both national and state levels to increase scope and capacity of domestic violence fatality reviews. The National Plan to Reduce Violence Against Women and Children (2010) has recommended ongoing development of domestic violence fatality reviews across Australia in order to share and learn from outcomes and the recent Queensland Domestic Violence Taskforce report Not Now, Not Ever: Putting an End to Domestic and Family Violence in Queensland (2015) has recommended the establishment of a domestic violence death review board.
