THE WA Gov't has announced a special taskforce to help guide the next phase of the state's efforts to address family and domestic violence, building on its ongoing work and more than $200m of investment.
The taskforce was a key request from the recent family and domestic violence forum, and will consider and advise the Gov't on other priorities put forward at the forum, and is in addition to examining broader system reform, to improve victim-survivor safety and perpetrator accountability.
The taskforce will be time-limited, initially for six months, to focus on delivering results.
In addition to these measures, the Gov't has announced it will take guns out of the hands of family and domestic violence perpetrators with the amendment of the Firearms Act 1973, which is currently underway.
