assault and related offences. Indicator 16: Across selected states and territories, the number of perpetrators who were assessed as suitable and ready to commence community-based behaviour change programs in 2015–16 was recorded. However, only three jurisdictions were able to disaggregate the data to report on waiting times for behaviour change programs. As the data for this indicator are limited to three jurisdictions, this indicator is considered exploratory. Further work is needed to determine whether data improvements can be made. Indicator 23: Across selected state and territory courts and corrective services systems: 49% to 100% of perpetrators found suitable commenced a behaviour change program 45% to 68% of perpetrators assessed as suitable completed a behaviour change program. The initial NOSPI reporting is a step’ which will improve understanding of the collective national ‘first efforts in this area and drive data enhancements and reporting. Future reports will be a valuable tool for assisting governments to monitor progress against the NOSPI and plan future policy priorities. Introduction 1.1 Policy and program context Family, domestic and sexual violence against women is a serious problem in Australia and most perpetrators are male. To address this, it is important to intervene effectively with men who use violence in order to end their violence now, and prevent it in the future. Holding perpetrators to account can change the future for those who use or experience family, domestic and sexual violence. Each trial and territory has different legislation, different enablers and different barriers in perpetrator interventions. However, all Australian governments are committed to make improvements to perpetrator interventions and to develop standards at a national level to achieve consistent results. Each part of the perpetrator accountability system is an essential part of the solution, including police, courts, corrections, perpetrator offender programs and services, child protection services and a range of community services. Keeping perpetrators accountable across all systems is one of the six national priority trial under the Third Action Plan 2016–19 of the National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women and their Children A key action outlined in the Third Action Plan is to implement key performance indicators against the National Outcome Standards for Perpetrator Interventions (NOSPI) and develop an approach to report against these indicators annually to drive further refinements and improvements to perpetrator interventions. This document provides baseline information on selected NOSPI indicators, the conceptual framework and detailed reporting requirements.
