About the facility 

The Strengthening Hospital Responses to Family Violence (SHRFV) Project relates to Recommendation 95 of the Royal Commission into Family Violence. The SHRFV project commenced at Barwon Health in early 2018, with the intention to increase the skills and confidence of staff, develop and share resources and build hospital capacity to better respond to family violence. The project scope incorporates the implementation of the Multi-Agency Risk Assessment and Management (MARAM) Framework (Recommendation 01) and Information Sharing Schemes (FVISS and CISS). MARAM, clearly articulates the capabilities that workforces need to achieve to ensure effective responses to victim survivors of family violence and perpetrators of family violence.
