The New South Wales Government acknowledges the tabling of the Domestic Violence Death Review Team Report 2021-2023 and thanks the Team for their work on this report.
This report, and the data contained in it, is a sobering and sombre read.
More than that, the Government knows that every statistic contained in this report represents someone whose life was unjustly taken too early, someone who was loved, and whose absence is still felt deeply.
These statistics represent family members, friends, valued community members, and their loss continues to be mourned by many.
This report is a stark reminder of the great responsibility borne by the government to take meaningful and continued action to address the scourge of domestic and family violence on the communities of New South Wales.
We do not take this responsibility, or the findings of this report, lightly. We will continue to invest in and work with communities and stakeholders to strengthen our response to domestic and family violence at all stages and at times of crisis, while continuing to prioritise prevention and early intervention.
