- help victim-survivors navigate the health system
- improve health system pathways for victim-survivors
- provide trauma-informed care for victim-survivors that focuses on recovery and healing.

National Plan to End Violence Against Women and Children 2022–32

- response: programs used to address existing violence
- recovery and healing: helping to break the cycle of violence and supporting the health and wellbeing of victim-survivors.
