Flexible Support Packages for Family Violence

Flexible Support Packages for Family Violence

Flexible Support Packages (FSP) aim to deliver personalised and holistic responses to assist adult and child victim survivors experiencing family violence to transition from crisis and establish long-term sustainable arrangements to improve their safety, wellbeing, and independence in recovery from family violence.  

Individualised packages provide flexible brokerage to victim survivors to purchase a range of tailored and practical supports based on their case management/support plan. This may include counselling, wellbeing costs, education, employment related costs, financial counselling, transport, housing stability and establishment costs, and other practical or material needs.

FSP Portal

Family Safety Victoria (FSV) has developed an online portal that will streamline the application, assessment, approval, and acquittal of FSPs. It will simplify the process for practitioners applying for FSPs on behalf of victim survivors and will support provider agencies to more effectively and efficiently administer the FSP program across the state.

The portal leverages the technology behind the SmartyGrants grant administration system, operated by OurCommunity. FSV is pleased to be partnering with a social enterprise in the delivery of this system

Applicant agencies/practitioners needing assistance with registration and/or for all other technical support, please contact: [email protected]
