Funding for sexual violence services through Budget 2019
In Budget 2019, the Government invested $90.3 million over four years to strengthen support for victims/survivors and perpetrators of sexual violence.
The investment will help to create a more integrated, efficient and responsive system to those affected by sexual violence, by continuing and building on sexual violence services implemented since Budget 2016. It will mean more people get the services they need, when they need them.
In 2019/20 the focus of the funding will be to ensure service continuity for victims/survivors and perpetrators of sexual violence.
During this time, we will work closely with the sexual violence sector and other key stakeholders to determine how best to develop, procure and contract sexual violence services in the future. We will let you know about opportunities to be involved in this work via our Family Violence and Sexual Violence Service Provider Update.
