(a) - (d) The National Plan to Reduce Violence Against Women and their Children 2010-2022 (the National Plan) has not yet been formally launched. Whilst the State Government has endorsed the National Plan and has been working closely with the Commonwealth Government since September 2009, a commitment to additional funding has not been agreed to through this process. The Western Australia Strategic Plan for Family and Domestic Violence 2009-2013 and associated Action Plans will be aligned with the National Plan, and Western Australia report against agreed outcomes.
