Implementation of the MARAM and Information Sharing Schemes

Introduction

The Victorian Government is progressing three inter-related reforms, the Family Violence Information Sharing Scheme (FVISS), the Child Information Sharing Scheme (CISS) and the Family Violence Multi-Agency Risk Assessment and Risk Management Framework (MARAM). These reforms will be integral to promoting the well-being and safety of children and reducing family violence.

A wide range of organisations and services, including the Victorian Homelessness Sector (SHS) were prescribed to the reforms in September 2018.

This survey will assist The Council to Homeless Persons build capacity across the sector to promote better understanding and engagement with the reforms.

For more information about the MARAM and the Information Sharing Schemes, visit the Family Safety Victoria website, and if you would like to discuss the implementation of the reforms please contact Andrew Edgar at Council to Homeless Persons at andrew@chp.org.au or 8415 6207.
