Specialist Family Violence Advisors for Mental Health

In 2017 the Victorian Government funded the establishment of the Specialist Family Violence Advisors (SFVA) positions across 17 areas. The ongoing positions are auspiced by mental health and AOD service providers. SFVAs embed family violence expertise within the AOD and mental health sectors, supporting continuous improvement, lead system and practice change, and build sector capacity and capability to identify, assess, and respond to family violence.

The SFVA in your area will help with:
• promoting and understanding MARAM
• the Family Violence Information Sharing Schemes (FVISS)
• the Child Information Sharing Scheme (CISS)
• providing secondary consultations.

Secondary Consults

If you need advice or support for your client you can access secondary consultations through:

CAMHS – Child and Adult Mental Health Services (CAMHS) provides consultation to other service providers working with children and adolescents to promote early intervention and effective delivery of primary level responses for children and young people experiencing mild to moderate mental health problems.
SEMPHN – SEMPHN partners with Monash Health and Alfred Health to provide general practitioners with free access to secondary consultations with an experienced psychiatrist.
Forensicare – A secondary consultation involves a discussion, usually via telephone, between a Forensicare’s clinician and the referrer about a specific client. The client is not present during the consultation. The aim of the consultation discussion is to clarify pertinent issues and to provide advice about the client’s ongoing management. A secondary consultation may lead onto a primary consultation, if appropriate.
