Notes:	This final report is the outcome of a consultancy undertaken by urbis keys young in 2000, under the auspices of the Partnerships Against Domestic Violence initiative, to research innovative good practice models for improving access to the justice system by people experiencing domestic and family violence. The intention was to document and promulgate information about innovative practices being implemented across the country, especially but not only in rural and remote locations. The general themes that emerged from the analysis of the projects include funding; evidence of successful partnerships; impetus for change; replicability; and sustainability. The authors have assembled a list of what they consider good practice operational features: strong management and leadership; good planning; flexible service delivery responsive to changing needs and circumstances; clearly-defined focus and outcomes; the setting of achievable tasks, especially in pilot projects; attempting to achieve some tangible early results, particularly in large developmental projects; appointing a driver to oversee the implementation of major initiatives in the developmental phase; employing appropriately skilled and experienced staff – having the right people in the right jobs; consistency and continuity in personnel, especially in the establishment and consolidation of new services or initiatives; and conducting of process and outcome evaluations (ideally by an external evaluator) as an integral part of the planning, development and monitoring of services.
