One survivor believes this could have stopped her from entering a dangerous relationship, especially since she later learned her ex was a repeat offender. While statewide family violence reports show a slight dip, regional areas like East Gippsland are seeing rising incidents — and officials warn the numbers barely scratch the surface. The scheme aims to empower people with early information, filling a critical gap between post-abuse support and prevention. In South Australia, the program has processed thousands of applications and helped identify abusive patterns even without formal charges. Victoria’s government supports victim protections but is open to expanding tools like this to prevent abuse before it starts.
