EXTERNALLY FUNDED RESEARCH PROJECTS

SAFER: Successful and Family-Oriented, Enculturated Responses for New and Emerging Multicultural Communities in Regional Victoria

Background

A safe, successful, culturally relevant response is essential for victim survivors of family violence from new and emerging multicultural communities living in regional Victoria. This project will develop a practice framework to improve the effectiveness of integrated service system responses in Geelong and Gippsland for multicultural communities. By embedding the Family Violence Lived Experience Strategy, we will examine the successful service system responses and barriers that prevent a culturally responsive engagement and response. In collaboration with regional partners, we will develop recommendations to measurably improve family violence service outcomes in regional Victoria for multicultural communities.

Aim

This project will develop a practice framework to improve the effectiveness of integrated service system responses to victim-survivors of family violence from new and emerging multicultural communities in regional Victoria.

Methods

This study will employ a best practice, case study with mixed-methods, participatory action research design.

Significance

This project will deliver effective, evidence-based information dissemination strategies to improve the success and integration of family violence support services and multicultural services for victim-survivors of family violence from new and emerging communities in regional Victoria, specifically Geelong and Gippsland.
