National Cabinet has agreed to a funding boost to tackle what Anthony Albanese has repeatedly labelled a 'national crisis' of gender-based violence.
Australians fleeing domestic violence will soon receive additional support as Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced a $4.7 billion boost in funding. Albanese met with premiers and chief ministers on Friday morning to discuss what he's repeatedly labelled a "national crisis", and reassert his government's commitment to end family, domestic and sexual violence "in a generation".
Funding will be given to frontline agencies to provide specialist services for women, services to support children exposed to family, domestic and sexual violence to heal and recover, and to work with men, including through behaviour change programs for perpetrators.
