The Palaszczuk Government will provide $1.4 million in funding over five years for a new domestic and family violence counselling and case management support service based at Chermside, with outreach services across Brisbane.
The service, which will be provided by UnitingCare Queensland, is a part of a Brisbane Domestic and Family Violence High Risk Team developed in response to the ‘Not Now, Not Ever’ report delivered by the Special Taskforce on Domestic and Family Violence in Queensland in 2015.
Minister for Prevention of Domestic and Family Violence Di Farmer said “the new service will allow us to provide counselling, advocacy and case management support.”
