This year’s MARAM and Information Sharing Week runs from 10 to 14 November 2025. The Department of Families, Fairness and Housing is hosting the week.
MARAMIS week increases awareness and understanding of MARAM and information sharing in practice.
The MARAM and Information Sharing schemes increase the safety and wellbeing of Victorians. They support relevant services to work together to identify, assess and manage family violence risk.
This year’s theme focuses on the unique voice of children and young people. It highlights the need to listen to children and young people’s experiences of:
- family violence
- the family violence service system.
Attendees will hear from victim survivors, practitioners and service providers. They will talk about working with and hearing from children and young people in their own right.
The week will include online seminars for the Victorian family violence sector.
