It Stops Here: Standing together to end domestic and family violence in New South Wales launched in 2014 as the Government's Domestic and Family Violence Framework for Reform. It Stops Here established Safer Pathway, the new assessment, referral and service coordination framework to support effective responses to all victims of domestic and family violence. Services work together and share information to create a coordinated, holistic response to victims and their children, where tailored support is offered to meet their safety, health and wellbeing needs.

Safer Pathway commenced in September 2014 (Orange and Waverly) and was rolled out to a further four sites in July 2015 (Bankstown, Parramatta, Broken Hill and Tweed Heads). Safer Pathway Safety Action Meeting sites will be established in a further 21 new locations across New South Wales in 2016-17. $53 million over four years has been allocated for a state-wide rollout of Safer Pathway.
