FNAAFV National Peak Body

First Nations Advocates Against Family Violence (FNAAFV), formerly the National Family Violence Prevention & Legal Services Forum (NFVPLS Forum), is a self-determined, community-controlled national peak body representing Family Violence Prevention Legal Services (FVPLS) across Australia. FNAAFV advocates for culturally safe, holistic legal and community responses to family and sexual violence affecting First Nations people, particularly women and children, and provides national leadership, policy advice, and law reform advocacy to advance their rights, safety, and self-determination.

FNAAFV is committed to achieving real progress on Outcome 13 of Closing the Gap: ensuring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and children are safe, with the goal that by 2031 the rate of all forms of family violence and abuse against them is reduced by at least 50% as progress towards zero.
