CLEAR project lands $3.47 Million

We’re pleased to share that the CLEAR Pathway to Uplift Project has secured $3.47 million in funding from Lotterywest, marking a major step forward in the digital transformation of Family and Domestic Violence (FDV) service delivery across Western Australia.

The project builds on the Safe with Milli pilot, which saw Genvis work with FDV and social service providers to co-design and test digital approaches that better support victim-survivors and strengthen collaboration across services. Having been the lead partner organisation in the WA pilot cohort, Anglicare WA is serving as the project lead for the CLEAR initiative and the recipient of the funding on behalf of participating organisations and the clients they serve.


A Scalable Path Forward

With this new funding, the CLEAR project will scale this work across the Western Australia. It will focus on:

  • Up to 10 Coordinated Response Services (CRS) as core delivery partners

  • Inclusion of up to 30 FDV support services, including regional providers and participants from the original pilot

  • Access to support tools for up to 5,000 victim-survivors, improving safety planning, service engagement, and coordination

The project is grounded in the CLEAR Principles:

  • Client-centricity

  • Leveraging insights

  • Enhancing data management

  • Administrative efficiency

  • Reducing collaboration friction

It also supports FDV service providers in preparing for emerging privacy and information-sharing legislation, while demonstrating what digital transformation can look like when it’s driven by community need.


Todaybreak’s Role

As program steward, Todaybreak ensures that projects like CLEAR remain aligned with the broader goals of the Safe with Milli program. This includes:

  • Supporting delivery quality and cross-jurisdictional learning

  • Maintaining alignment with co-design and trauma-informed practice

  • Providing governance and coordination frameworks that give confidence to funders and clarity to frontline service providers

Todaybreak doesn’t build the technology—but we make sure what is built works, and that it reaches the people and communities who need it.


A Growing Model for Community-Led Innovation

The CLEAR project is one of several initiatives emerging from the Safe with Milli pilot.

Lead service providers are now working with Todaybreak to secure funding for breakout projects that respond directly to the challenges they face on the ground. These initiatives are shaped by frontline insight, supported by deep community relationships, and delivered with technology that’s fit for purpose.

A second project, in Ontario, has also received funding and will be announced shortly.

These early projects are showing that when frontline FDV and social service organisations have the tools, frameworks, and support they need, new solutions to entrenched challenges become possible.


What Comes Next

The work now shifts to delivery—partnering, learning, and scaling what works.

At Todaybreak, we believe that closing the technology gap is essential to reducing gender-based violence in our communities. It’s not about new tools for their own sake. It’s about making sure the people already doing the work have access to the infrastructure they need.

Safe with Milli is no longer just a pilot.
It’s a platform. A program. A movement.
And we’ll keep going—until the job is done.
