| dc.description.notes | This is an evaluation of the integrated, co-located service model of DVAS Central in Perth, Western Australia. In 2003, DVAS Central was launched as a "one stop shop" with a number of on-site services including police officers, a women's advocacy and support worker, and sessional workers from legal aid, children's services and Aboriginal advocacy services. It includes a number of partnerships with off-site agencies. Recommendations from the evaluation include: that the model works well for clients, staff and the community and provides value for money; that there is a need for a coordinator and reception staff on-site; that the service remain located in the community; that it should continue and that, if replicated elsewhere, it is important that all stakeholders have full commitment to the model and to making a financial commitment to it. Numerous benefits for clients were noted, such as: not having to repeat their story to numerous agencies decreased a sense of trauma; there was an increased sense of safety; and there was a decreased rate of "giving up" on seeking help due to access difficulties. Other benefits were enhanced staff skill due to cross-discipline learning and a single focus on providing a domestic violence service. Gaps identified were the need for co-located family law and crisis counselling services, the need for multicultural women's services and increased capacity to identify and monitor issues for children. | en |
