Tools for Risk Assessment Management (TRAM)?
TRAM has been developed by Family Safety Victoria (FSV) as an online platform for use across the service system.
TRAM contains:
- Adult and child victim survivor MARAM risk assessments and safety plan
- Comprehensive Adult Using Family Violence assessment tool
- Predominant Aggressor Identification tool.
The TRAM platform is used across The Orange Door network and by several community agencies.
Specialist Homelessness Information Platform (SHIP)
FSV is leading the development of the MARAM risk assessment and management tools.
SHIP contains the adult and child victim survivor MARAM risk assessments and safety plan.
Collection of de-identified data
Use of these tools in TRAM and SHIP allows FSV to collect and analyse de-identified data on family violence risk and trends. This information will contribute to service improvements and the evidence base on family violence risk.
What is happening next?
Once the child and young person-focused MARAM Practice Guides and tools are published in 2026, work will commence to build the appropriate tools into both TRAM and SHIP.
In 2026, FSV will also commence work to build the adults using family violence Identification and Intermediate Risk Assessment tools in SHIP.
