In a difficult economic context, the Victorian Government is ‘staying the course’ on responses to family violence.
In the years since the Royal Commission into Family Violence, we have seen incredible investment into major reforms.
Building on the investment from previous years, and in a context that tightens spending across critical community services, the 2023-34 Victorian Budget does include $77 million to continue delivering support for victim survivors of family violence and sexual assault and perpetrator intervention initiatives over the next four years. This includes ongoing funding for Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations to deliver family violence and sexual assault services and the establishment of a collaborative crisis accommodation model for people at high risk of family violence with very high support needs.
