Case Study: Research that Improves Safety and Support for People Experiencing Violence led by the Prevention and Response to Violence, Abuse and Neglect (PARVAN) Service – Northern Sydney Local Health District
The PARVAN Service supports people affected by violence, abuse and neglect through safe, trauma‑informed and culturally appropriate care, while working closely with health staff across the district to improve recognition and response. Its research approach is grounded in strong partnerships with consumers and service providers to ensure care models reflect lived experience and community need. A recent collaborative evaluation examined how domestic and family violence services delivered by PARVAN and partner agencies are working,
identifying what victims and survivors find most helpful and where barriers to early identification and access remain. The findings are informing changes to the PARVAN Model of Care, strengthening service effectiveness and sustainability. This work demonstrates how partnerships between consumers, clinicians and agencies create a connected research ecosystem that generates shared evidence, supports service improvement and delivers meaningful impact for vulnerable communities.
