About the NSW Lived Experience Advisory Group
Victim-survivors of domestic, family and sexual violence are invited to apply to join the group.

Group members' insights will inform NSW government policies, services and support systems to ensure they reflect the lived experience of those impacted by domestic, family and sexual violence.

We welcome applications from people with all backgrounds — different ages (over 18), cultures, genders and identities. Diversity strengthens our work, and your unique perspective is vital to creating a future where every voice is valued.
