A joined-up approach to support people and communities in need
Collaboration across government, key organisations and with communities is the best way to provide individuals with the right supports to address the risk factors for offending and strengthen social recovery outcomes.
Working with the community across three action areas
The Strategy will support effective, collaborative efforts to improve outcomes for individuals and communities in Victoria across three interconnected action areas.
Grants for small multicultural and Aboriginal clubs and organisations to support projects that use cultural connection, sport, arts, music or other creative activities to engage young people.
Creating Safer Places supports urban design projects that apply an inclusive environmental design approach to deter crime, increase safety and activate public places.
Grants of between $25,000 and $300,000 for councils, not for profit community organisations and other specialist organisations for partnership projects that deliver and evaluate innovative community safety and crime prevention initiatives.
Outcomes of crime prevention projects funded under Creating Safer Places, Crime Prevention Innovation Fund and the Empowering Communities partnerships.
Under the Crime Prevention Innovation Fund, Project Night Justice aims to improve personal safety for women and gender diverse people visiting the Melbourne CBD at night through a suite of activities.
Feeling Safe in Public Places supports local government to better understand and respond to the needs of migrant women when designing and managing safe, inclusive public spaces. The Safe Spaces Report and related toolkits are a useful resource available to councils across the state.
Children, young people and families will have access to vital early intervention supports under a suite of new multicultural and youth-focused projects.
