The Family Violence Protection Act 2008 (the Act) enables the operation of the Family Violence Information Sharing Scheme, Central Information Point and Family Violence Multi-Agency Risk Assessment and Management (MARAM) Framework.
The Act required there be independent reviews of the first two and five years of the operation of the Family Violence Information Sharing Scheme. The two-year review was undertaken by a team of researchers from Monash University and focussed on the implementation of the Scheme.
The five-year review was undertaken by the Family Violence Reform Implementation Monitor. The review considered the operation of the legal provisions giving effect to the Family Violence Information Sharing Scheme, as well as the Central Information Point and the MARAM Framework.
These reviews and Government responses to the reviews were tabled in Parliament.
