(1) In relation to the Australian Institute of Criminology’s review on the Family Violence Risk Assessment tool (FVRAT), what were the original 37 assessment items, given the revised FVRAT will reduce the total number of assessment items to the 10 most significant items, and can a copy of the original FVRAT be provided as an attachment to the answer.
(2) When will the revised FVRAT be implemented.
(3) What was the total cost of the study and review on the FVRAT by the Australian Institute of Criminology, as commissioned by ACT Policing.
Mr Gentleman: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
1. In 2017, ACT Policing implemented the Family Violence Risk Assessment Tool (FVRAT) to allow a thorough and consistent method for police to assess the risk posed by an offender to the victim in family violence settings. The original FVRAT is a 37-item tool used by ACT Policing when responding to a report of family violence and used to inform police decisions in how to respond.
The original FVRAT consisting of the 37-assessment items has been provided as an attachment to the response.
2. ACT Policing is currently implementing the revised FVRAT as recommended by the Australian Institute of Criminology (AIC). It is anticipated the revised FVRAT will be implemented before the end 2020.
