RFVP Information

The RFVP exists to integrate and improve the local family violence system. We do this by providing specialist expertise and leadership, supporting workforces and communities to transform family violence, and influencing and advocating for positive change. The RFVP works to integrate and improve the family violence system and help end family violence across the Eastern Metropolitan Region (EMR). The EMR covers the two Department of Families, Fairness and Housing (DFFH) areas of Inner Eastern Melbourne and Outer Eastern Melbourne encompassing the seven Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Boorondara, Monash, Manningham, Whitehorse, Maroondah, Knox and Yarra Ranges. The RFVP has representation from specialist family violence services as well as broader cross-sector organisations and alliances whose work intersects with family violence response, early intervention and prevention. RFVP members are leaders active in strengthening the family violence system and ending family violence in the EMR.
