National Authority for Intervention, Safety & Reform
A proposed statutory framework for ending domestic violence in Australia.
Domestic violence is Australia's silent epidemic. On average, one woman is killed every nine days by a current or former partner. The economic cost exceeds $22 billion annually. Indigenous women are hospitalised at 34 times the rate of non-Indigenous women. These are not abstract statistics. They represent preventable deaths, fractured families, and a national failure of coordination.

Principles
Our Approach
Protection First
Victim safety is the non-negotiable centre of every decision, protocol, and investment.
Evidence-Based Reform
Perpetrator behaviour change requires structured accountability, not punishment alone.
Systemic Coordination
Police, health, courts, and community services sharing risk intelligence in real time.
Graduated Response
The NAISAR Risk Scale
Five evidence-based tiers. Every case matched to the right level of protection, monitoring, and reform.
Minimal Risk
Score 0–5
Information and voluntary resources. No active monitoring.
Low Risk
Score 6–10
Standard protection with scheduled monitoring and check-ins.
Moderate Risk
Score 11–15
Enhanced protection with active monitoring and reform modules.
High Risk
Score 16–20
Intensive protection with real-time monitoring and coordinated response.
Critical Risk
Score 21–30
Maximum protection with emergency response protocols.
