Who this page is for

We advise the people who set the direction of a domestic violence service: board members, chairs, CEOs, executives and operations managers. Your organisation may be planning for steady funding, working through growth, or asking what the next three years should look like for the people you serve.

This work stays on the leadership side. It covers strategy, planning, growth and governance. It never asks you to share anything about the people your service supports.

This page sits within our wider work in strategic planning and business development for human services organisations.

Strategic planning for a domestic violence service

A strategic plan gives your board and team one shared view of where the service is heading. We design strategic growth frameworks that turn that view into clear priorities, measures and responsibilities.

The work is data-informed. We start from your own numbers and the needs of the communities you serve, not from a generic template. A good plan answers practical questions. Which services should grow, hold or change? Where do you need more capability? What will your board want to see each quarter?

Sustainable service planning and growth

Domestic violence services often plan around short funding cycles. We help you look at your service model, your funding mix and your costs together, so the plan strengthens the organisation rather than stretching it.

Growth in this sector is rarely only a funding question. It touches workforce, safety, quality and community relationships. We look at the whole picture with you.

Governance, quality and risk for the board

Governance matters in a service where trust and safety are everything. We help your board and executive team set clear roles, test decisions and keep oversight of quality and risk, alongside strategy.

Executive advisory gives your leaders an independent sounding board for the choices that come before the board meeting.

Questions

What does a domestic violence consultant do?

A domestic violence consultant advises the leaders of a service on its direction, planning and governance. At JTS Empower Services that means strategic planning, sustainable service planning, and governance, quality and risk support for boards and executives. We do not provide direct support to people experiencing violence.

Do you work with the people our service supports?

No. Our work is with boards, CEOs and leadership teams only, on strategy, planning and governance. And please do not send us any details about the people your service supports.

Who should contact you?

Board members, chairs, CEOs, executives and operations managers of organisations that run domestic violence services, anywhere in Australia. You do not need a fixed plan. A clear question is enough.
