Tracking progress in prevention comprehensively tracks national progress towards the primary prevention of violence against women and their children in Australia.
On this page you’ll find our Tracking progress in prevention report and our new report card on progress made towards the primary prevention of violence against women in Australia.
The report card provides key data updates on progress towards the primary prevention of violence against women in Australia since the publication of Tracking progress in prevention in 2020.
Tracking progress in prevention demonstrates that Australia’s approach to prevention is based on sound evidence, showing encouraging signs of progress and heading in the right direction – and we need to stay the course.
The report also demonstrates how national prevention monitoring and reporting can be done, the data and measures that can be used and the importance of continued monitoring into the future.
Stakeholders involved in primary prevention can use the findings and the monitoring approach to inform their primary prevention efforts and investments, to help maximise impact and advance progress.
In addition to changes in awareness, attitudes and behaviour, there have been positive legislative, policy, institutional and system reforms since 2019.
The many significant improvements show that there is progress towards ending violence against women. Australians’ understanding of and attitudes towards violence against women have shown positive changes. Violence against women has decreased over the past 10 years and there have been significant steps towards building the foundations necessary for effective primary prevention work.
Stakeholders involved in primary prevention can use the findings, monitoring approach and key data updates to inform their primary prevention efforts and investments, to help maximise impact and advance progress.
