Local-police pacts ensuring no immigration data is shared from FDV reporting; trained migrant-liaison officers.
WHY NOW
Visa-conditional safety blocks reporting; coronial inquiries have flagged this for years.
SUCCESS METRIC
Reporting rate change in cohort

LIFE AREAS
Single phone number for anyone facing eviction in the next 7 days. Immediate triage to legal aid, emergency accommodation, and financial support. Not a referral chain — actual help that day.
"Red flag" elder-abuse training for bank staff
Train bank tellers to spot signs of elder financial abuse (sudden large withdrawals, confused elderly person with a younger family member directing transactions). Many banks already do this — make it universal + linked to reporting.
Noise-complaint mediation by text
Instead of sending a ranger for a noise complaint, first send a text/letter to the noisy party: "A neighbour has raised a concern about noise. Here are the rules, here's how to mediate." De-escalation before enforcement.
"Know your risk" disaster postcard
Every household in a high-risk area gets a postcard: "Your property is in a flood/fire zone. Here's your risk level, your insurer's obligations, and 3 things you can do this weekend."
