Evaluation of the Family Violence Regional Activities Program (FVRAP) - 2005

May 2005

The Family Violence Regional Activities Program (FVRAP) was transferred to the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA)from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Services (ATSIS) on July 2004. In taking on this responsibility FaHCSIA commissioned an evaluation because the Program had not yet been evaluated, and because there was a major restructuring of the Australian Government’s approach to Indigenous Affairs.
