Research has shown the best way to manage graffiti is to:

Prevent - Keep your property clean, tidy and free of rubbish.
Report - Report graffiti on your property to Victoria Police so they can build a database and help find offenders. If you see someone defacing property with graffiti, please call police on 000.
Remove - Aim to remove graffiti from your property within 48 hours. Graffiti attracts graffiti - by removing it promptly, graffiti is less likely to reoccur.
