Notes:	Article describes the Women’s Safety Strategy, a whole-of-government approach by the Victorian government that covers all forms of violence against women including family violence, sexual assault, public safety issues, sexual harassment and violence in the workplace. The Strategy was publicly announced by the Minister for Women’s Affairs, the Hon. Sherryl Garbutt, MP at a Women’s Safety Consultative Forum in September 2000 and in December 2000, four priority areas were agreed to at the first Annual Meeting of Ministers on Women’s Safety. These included: increasing options for women who have experienced family violence (particularly the option of women and children being able to remain in the family home); strengthening local networks and responses; improving prevention initiatives; and developing an Indigenous Family Violence Strategy. The draft strategy is expected to be available for public consultation in July 2001 to enable community members to provide feedback before the strategy is finalised as government policy. Contact details for more information are provided.
