Family Violence Dashboard

The Family Violence Database (FVDB) is produced annually by the Crime Statistics Agency to provide publicly accessible data and statistics on family violence in Victoria.

The 2023-24 dashboard includes:

• Linked justice data to show the progression of family violence incidents through the criminal and civil justice systems
• Local Government Area snapshots illustrating family violence characteristics and trends 
• Health and social services accessed by family violence victims and perpetrators, including, for the first time, The Orange Door data.  

Note that:

• Data for some demographic/priority groups may have a lot of missing values and should be interpreted with caution
• The lay terms “victim” or “victim-survivor” and “perpetrator” are used to improve readability and ensure consistent terminology across the dashboard
• The FVDB is a standalone product that incorporates multiple sources of data and in some instances uses slightly different counting rules compared to other Crime Statistics Agency outputs. The data may not be directly comparable across other outputs.
