Second Action Plan consultation June 2026
Stand Again conducted a gap analysis of 336 DFV service providers across 19 service lines and all Australian states and territories. The analysis maps where provision is strong, where gaps remain, and what addressing those gaps could deliver - for female and male victim-survivors, and for the broader system. What we found:
- 237 service providers dedicated to female victims. 5 serve male victims. 22 serve pets.
- There are more crisis accommodation services for pets than for men.
- Zero dedicated legal support, financial support, or suicide prevention services exist for male victim-survivors.
- The estimated cost of these gaps: $7 billion per year.
NSW Statutory Review of the Coercive Control Reform Aug 26
The submission examines whether the reform's own method for ruling out misidentification can actually tell a genuine success from a detection failure that produces the same numbers, and tests NSW's charge data against the independent research on who experiences coercive control.
What we found:
- NSW's coercive control charge data runs 19 to 1, women to men. The best available prevalence research puts the real gap between 4 to 1 and 5 to 1. One study found no gender difference at all.
- BOCSAR uses the 95%-male charge data to prove the charge data is accurate. There is no independent measure of true prevalence to test that claim against.
Vacuum, Value, Venom: A Framework for Understanding and Addressing the Manosphere
This paper presents a three-stage model, vacuum, value, venom, for telling when content addressed to men is a pathway into adversarial ideology rather than genuine support.
- The vacuum stage names a genuine deficit in institutional affirmation of male worth.
- The value stage offers legitimate psychological goods: self-respect, discipline, belonging.
- The venom stage redirects the trust these goods earn toward contempt for women and institutions.
