Code of Practice – Audit Tool

The Code of Practice articulates principles and standards to guide consistent quality service provision for victim-survivors accessing specialist family violence services in Victoria.

About this resource

The tool assists specialist family violence services to use the Code of Practice as a resource for continuous quality improvement. It is designed for services to:

• evidence and rate their performance against the standards and indicators of the Code
• identify and critically reflect on areas for internal improvement and change management
• identify impediments to meeting standards and indicators that may require improved systemic collaboration and/or advocacy
• develop and document action plans with timelines, key responsibilities and outcomes.

The audit tool also shows how the Code complements the Department of Health and Human Services Standards and the Community Services Quality Governance Framework.

This is not intended to replace these essential resources; rather, the aim is to assist specialist family violence services to use the Code alongside these resources to provide high quality family violence services to the community. Understanding the complements between the Code and these resources may also assist services to prepare for accreditation processes.
