In practice, this should include reporting mechanisms that interact and show the relationship between targets and objectives across the various plans, consideration of the newly established role of the Family, Domestic and Sexual Violence Commissioner and conducting a review of existing targets and objectives across the various plans to determine the baseline, as well as an evaluation of their integration both in practice and as a process to achieve stated objectives. Recommendations for structural reform to enable the effective delivery of both the standalone National Plan and the current Action Plan under development The Australian Government must ensure: 6. Plans are underpinned by a commitment to long-term, sustained investment, that emphasises holistic and community-led preventative measures and models. Services on the ground need to receive both long-term and flexibility of funding to be responsive to need and address issues. In commencing development of the standalone National Plan, government must commit to adequate investment to ensure that First Nations women, children, those with disability and LGBTIQA+SB people are engaged and reflected in all of their diversity. It is critical that diverse groups of First Nations peoples are an immediate part of the development of the standalone National Plan and are not an afterthought. It is critical that there is an immediate focus on how to invest in a preventative long-term approach that can end violence. 7. A ‘First Nations Women and children’s safety policy think tank’ is established and resourced to undertake and connect research on violence against First Nations women and children and for findings to inform policy, community action and program investment. There is a need for a dedicated First Nations framework for measurement, evaluation and data collection based on Indigenous ways of being doing and knowing. Evaluation methodologies commonly adopted by government fail to comprehensively understand the full range of factors important to First Nations peoples, including connection to Country and community, self-determination and empowerment.
