About
The Coordinated Response Service (CRS) works alongside WA Police and Child Protection workers to assess every incident of family and domestic violence reported to police. Assessments determine the risk of homicide and potential for escalating harm. Women and children (if present) are referred to appropriate services and/or interventions. CRS also liaises with other Mission Australia staff across the Murchison regions to follow up on incidents of family and domestic violence
Who we assist
People experiencing family and domestic violence who have had police attend an incident of Family Violence and have completed a DVIR report. The Triage then identifies high risk clients who are offered enhanced services to assist them to gain safety from further abuse.
Eligibility criteria
Police DVIR report
Referral process
WA Police, WA Child Protection and Family Services and Mission Australia jointly review and triage recent police DVIR reports to identify people at high risk of homicide and harm. These high risk cases are then offered high level support to increase safety of the individual and their family. This will include multi-agency support.
