Notes:	This is the second paper of a three-part series focused on law reform and policy development to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and children as victims/survivors of family violence and sexual assault. The papers emphasise legal equity, accessibility and outcomes. In this second paper, the Aboriginal Family Violence Prevention & Legal Services Victoria drew on their service experience, existing community and government initiatives, consultations with victims/survivors, and advisory committee feedback to outline recommendations for improving legal service provision for ATSI women. The report concludes with 24 proposals for service improvement included detailed actions and recommended agency responsibility for implementation.
