Prime Minister Scott Morrison pledges Commonwealth investment of $328m to combat domestic violence, with most of the funding going towards safe houses and frontline services.
This pledge is the fourth and final step in the National Action Plan, developed in 2010, to reduce violence against women and children.
The Prime Minister says, “Our Government has zero tolerance for violence against women & children. Whether it’s at home, in the workplace, in our communities or online, they deserve to be safe. That’s why we’re working hard to keep them safe & investing more than ever before to ensure that.”
