Almost 6,000 people who use violence in their relationships engage in Family & Relationship Services Australia (FRSA) member programs each year. This report was undertaken to build a picture of the footprint of members that deliver targeted intervention programs. It calls for these programs to be recognised as critical entry points for family safety.

A collection of six peer-reviewed papers from the 2025 national conference covering the themes: Across the lifecourse; the First 1000 Days; Schooling years; Children at the centre; and Relationship breakdown and re-partnering.

This report builds on the already substantial body of evidence that supports the link between the provision of the suite of family and relationship services and improved health, safety, family functioning and development, social and community connectedness, and financial and economic benefits.

This report argues for coordinated strategies to increase family-based prevention and early intervention services in Australia. Existing policies do not seek to involve the family and relationship sector in prevention and early intervention, but there is potential for cost effectiveness and efficiency if government invests in prevention and intervention across a range of health risks.
