Working Together: Highlights of the NSW strategy to reduce violence against women

---

Specialist and mainstream services are critical to helping women rebuild their lives following violence. Time for Action reported on the challenges facing the domestic violence and sexual assault sector in meeting the needs of victims. These included the inability of services to meet the holistic needs of victims and their families and over‐stretched and stressed services with long waiting lists. Time for Action also reported the need for the first door to be the right door. A ‘first door approach’ means that for women who have experienced violence their first point of contact should provide professional, capable and compassionate assistance. Improving collaboration between services means that women do not have to repeat their stories. Services supporting victims of violence must be flexible in meeting the diverse needs of their clients, including Indigenous women, older women, young women, women with disabilities, same‐sex attracted women and women from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
