The Family Violence Information Sharing Scheme (FVISS) and Child Wellbeing Information Sharing Scheme (CISS) enable the sharing of information between authorised organisations to assess and manage family violence risk.

The purpose of these schemes is to keep victim survivors safe and hold perpetrators to account. The schemes authorise the sharing of information to:

• assess risk (family violence assessment purpose)
• manage the risk, including through ongoing risk management (family violence protection purpose)
• promote the health and safety of a child or group of children.

Information Sharing Entities (ISE) and Risk Assessment Entities (RSE) are encouraged to submit requests for information under the Child Information Sharing Scheme (CISS) and Family Violence Information Sharing Scheme (FVISS) through ‘BCHS Information Sharing Scheme INCOMING REQUEST’.
