Recently Toongabbie CWA President Caroline Craig and Publicity Officer Amanda Manson , were delegates to the CWA of NSW State Conference held at Coffs Harbour .
Over 600 CWA members from all over NSW and the ACT came together to learn from keynote speakers on a range of issues that included domestic violence , homelessness , crime prevention , traffic safety , telecommunications , scam prevention , medical research , youth programs and precision medicine . The Conference endorsed more than 25 motions across diverse sectors such as health , law and order , education , transport and the environment for which CWA will actively lobby all levels of government in the coming year . The most important was a motion of urgency on the need for more action on rates of domestic and family violence which was the first item of business considered by conference delegates and was passed unanimously .
The motion includes a call for an amendment to the NSW Bail Act to change the presumption of bail provisions to a default against bail for domestic and family violence offences ; prioritisation of sustainable funding models for frontline victim support services – and services that target perpetrator risk factors - to ensure stability and continuity in funding for these services ; and the expediting of the establishment of a real-time system to record , track , and share information on perpetrators across systems and jurisdictions .
Joy Beames , the CWA of NSW State President stated that “ This was the first issue we dealt with when the business sessions began on Monday , recognising just how important this motion was to members who want to see immediate and meaningful action around current rates of domestic and family violence and we ’ ll be strongly advocating for the measures we endorsed at the conference .”
