About DVFS The Domestic Violence Framework for Safety (DVFS) is an innovative, trauma-informed, and inclusive rehabilitation and recovery model designed to transform domestic violence response across Australia. This plan outlines a scalable strategy to embed DVFS within community services, government systems, and training pathways, with an initial rollout in South Australia and a vision for national expansion. DVFS offers targeted interventions for women who use violence, men’s rehabilitation, neurodivergent parents, and LGBTQIA+ communities, addressing service gaps with therapeutic, peer-based, and systems-integrated support. This business plan presents the rationale, model structure, workforce implications, financial forecasts, and outcomes for funding and implementation.
