Melbourne Launch of the National Roadmap for Change to Prevent and End Family Violence against People and Animals | Lucy’s Project

Lucy’s Project is delighted to invite you to join us in Melbourne for the Victorian launch of the National Roadmap for Change to Prevent and End Family Violence against People and Animals.

The National Roadmap for Change is informed by recommendations from the National Roundtable convened by Lucy’s Project in 2025. The Roundtable brought together over 100 participants including people with lived expertise, practitioners, advocates, researchers and policy makers.

Many of the Roundtable recommendations align to initiatives that have been implemented in Aotearoa New Zealand and the USA. Earlier this year, Lucy’s Project’s CEO undertook a Churchill Fellowship to learn more about these initiatives and fellowship findings are included in the National Roadmap.

The National Roadmap for Change also shares the stories and insights of five survivors who call for systems change to better support people and animals experiencing family violence.

This event aims to bring together partners from across the family, domestic and sexual violence, animal welfare, veterinary, legal and research sectors who have contributed to the development of this important national reform agenda, as well as parliamentarians and policy makers.

This event will follow the NSW launch at NSW Parliament House to be held on 24 September, and the national launch at Australian Parliament House which was held on 19 August.

Lucy’s Project greatly appreciates the support of the Petstock Foundation, our Major Partner, which enables us to lead change to improve the safety and wellbeing of people and animals across Australia.
