The NSW Government has already made significant reforms to help end domestic and family violence throughout the State. Previous reforms have included allowing video evidence in courts.
The mandatory NSW PDHPE syllabus for years 7-10 has also been altered to explicitly include domestic violence.
Parliamentary Secretary for the Hunter and Central Coast Scot MacDonald says "domestic and family violence has been with us for a long, long time and it's going to take generations to change".
"The way to do that is to raise awareness and the understanding it from a very early age that family violence is unacceptable".
