Family Violence Triage in Family Courts: Safety, Efficacy and Benefit

家庭和家庭暴力(DFV)的风险在关系分离期间最高，对于卷入家庭法院纠纷的父母和孩子来说，风险更高。利用联邦家庭法院的分流试点计划，这一合作项目旨在检查分离后DFV的风险途径、负担和成本，以及早期DFV分流的有效性和成本效益。该项目旨在产生关于家庭和系统安全驱动因素的新知识，促进关于DFV分流疗效的证据，并将研究结果转化为预防DFV危害的新资源。这项全球首创的研究旨在为全球家庭法律政策和实践提供信息，为脆弱的澳大利亚家庭和社会带来代际利益。

Domestic and family violence (DFV) risks are highest during relationship separation, elevated further for parents and children involved in Family Court disputes. Utilising the federal Family Courts’ Triage pilot program, this partnership project aims to examine risk pathways, burdens and costs of post-separation DFV, and the efficacy and cost-benefits of early DFV triage. The project intends to produce new knowledge about family and systemic drivers of safety, to advance evidence on the efficacy of DFV triage and to translate findings into new resources for preventing DFV harms. This world-first study aims to inform global family law policy and practice, with inter-generational benefit for vulnerable Australian families and for society.
