This evaluation report, prepared by Caz McLean for Refuge Victoria, Thorne Harbour Health and Switchboard, assesses the effectiveness of a program aimed at reducing barriers for LGBTIQA+ victim survivors in accessing mainstream FV services. The report indicates there is a need for mainstream organisations to work with LGBTIQA+ community controlled organisations to probide effective responses, with the program addressing barriers through building trust, improving knowledge of services, and increasing understanding of differences in experiences of FV in relation to LGBTIQA+victim survivors.
