Phase 2 portfolios

On 19 April 2021, MARAM, FVISS and CISS were extended to additional sectors, primarily health and education services. There are now over 370,000 workers across more than 6,000 organisations required to align with MARAM.[4]

Phase 2 is a significant step forward in the reforms as it reinforces the vision of the Royal Commission into Family Violence (the Royal Commission) regarding health and education workforces being authorised to share information to facilitate assessment and management of family violence risk to children and adults.

Due to the timing of the Phase 2 commencement within this reporting period, the newly prescribed portfolios are reporting on a three-month period only, 19 April 2021-30 June 2021.
