While we were disappointed that domestic, family and sexual violence failed to gain meaningful attention in the mainstream campaign coverage or from major political parties, we were heartened by the powerful mobilisation of the sector. Our special Federal Election Forum drew over 1,100 individuals and organisations from across the country, and featured senior voices from across the political spectrum; while our joint campaign letter to the incoming government attracted more than 100 endorsements.

This groundswell of support demonstrates that we are building a broad social movement for change—one that we at NTV are committed to ensuring does not lose momentum in the wake of the Federal Election.

Our work goes on. First up, the Victorian State Budget.
