Domestic, Family & Sexual Violence

All people have the right to live a life free from violence.

The NT experiences the highest rates of domestic, family and sexual violence in Australia. On average there are 61 domestic and family violence incidents on a typical day and four domestic and family violence related homicides per 100,000 people per year. Reporting by the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows that Aboriginal women are particularly impacted by this form of gender based violence, accounting for 89 per cent of all domestic, family and sexual violence victims in the NT.

NTCOSS advocates for and with the specialist domestic, family and sexual violence sector in the NT to improve safety, wellbeing, economic and social justice outcomes for women and their families.

RAMF Champions Project

Coordinated by NTCOSS and funded by the Northern Territory Government, this project supported eight services across the Northern Territory (NT) to implement the Domestic and Family Violence Risk Assessment and Management Framework (RAMF) from June 2023 to June 2026. The project explored how domestic and family violence responses could be strengthened across the eight services.

As part of its coordination role, NTCOSS was also funded to evaluate the project.
