This report provides an overview of discussions at a roundtable bringing children and young people with lived and living experience of domestic, family and sexual violence together with relevant Australian Government ministers. The report emphasises it's time to move beyond listening and start taking action based on what children and young people are saying needs to change.

The young advocates identified six priorities for government action in the roundtable report:  

1. ensuring accessible, age-appropriate and easy-to-navigate support
2. strengthening education to empower children and young people, their families, schools and communities to prevent and respond to domestic, family and sexual violence
3. providing safe and accessible housing options for children and young people escaping unsafe environments
4. ensuring police interact with children and young people safely and respectfully
5. empowering children and young people to meaningfully participate in family court and justice system processes
6. transforming systems using solutions co-designed with children and young people, enabling individualised and strengthened prevention, support and recovery options.

This work will contribute to shaping the Second Action Plan under the National Plan to End Violence against Women and Children 2022–2032, ensuring children and young people are not only recognised, but prioritised.
