The Palaszczuk Government is seeking interested organisations to apply for funding to host a new Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Family Violence Support Service in the Mackay region.
Member for Mackay Julieanne Gilbert says the new service would increase the support to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples experiencing domestic and family violence in Mackay and surrounding communities, with $260,000 per annum available.
The new service is planned to start providing services to clients in April 2020 following a period of consultation to develop the service model, establish the service and undertake staff training.
