The Hills Zero DFV Navbook is guiding the way
In 2024, Run Against Violence’s Click Collab initiative was piloted in The Hills with the support of Castle Hill RSL Group, The Hills Police Area Command and the Hills Domestic Violence Prevention Network. The first phase brought local organisations, community members, service providers and people with lived experience together to map existing work, share knowledge and identify the gaps and opportunities that could make the greatest difference.
That process led to the development of The Hills Zero DFV Navbook: a community-built five-year roadmap that brings the local effort together around a shared vision, goals and coordinated action.
The vision by 2030
The vision describes the community we aspire to create. It was originally crafted and approved by The Hills community in 2025.
By 2030, respectful relationships are valued as a cornerstone of life in The Hills community.
People of all ages will be engaged in open and informed conversations about respectful relationships at home, at work, at school and in social settings. They will be equipped to recognise the early signs of abuse and know how to respond with confidence.
Anyone in the community who needs counselling or support knows where to find it and feels confident seeking help. They can access the assistance they need, including financial support where necessary, in ways that achieve the best possible outcomes.
5-Year Roadmap
The five-year roadmap provides a shared pathway for turning the vision for Zero DFV into sustained community action.
Each workstream builds on the momentum of the others, strengthening the foundations for long-term change across The Hills. The Zero DFV team oversees the 5-Year Roadmap on behalf of The Hills community.
Like all communities across the country, the Hills is also impacted by DFV. However, we now have the opportunity to be the first community in Australia to reach Zero DFV. By co-ordinating our prevention efforts and working towards collaborative goals, sharing programs and resources and supporting each other, we have a real opportunity to reduce DFV long-term.
I am proud that The Hills is again leading the way in creating change.
