Tell the govt: fully fund women’s safety

Domestic and family violence services, sexual violence services, women's legal services - all play a vital role in supporting women's safety and wellbeing.

But right now government priorities and funding decisions mean that services aren't resourced to assist everyone that needs them. Every day violence services aren't fully funded is another day women are left in danger.

Government representatives talk about how we all have a part to play in addressing violence. But making sure frontline services are resourced to support everyone who needs them is squarely the responsibility of governments. 

Join us in calling on all government to make women’s safety a non-negotiable at the heart of their budgets.


If you or someone you know is affected by sexual or domestic or family abuse, you can access support from Full Stop Australia's National Violence and Abuse Trauma Counselling and Recovery Service by calling 1800 385 578 or at fullstop.org.au. If you are in danger, call 000. The Men's Referral Service is available on 1300 766 491 for men, or friends and family of men using violence.

 

More information

There are gaping holes in the safety net that should be in place for women affected by sexual, domestic and family violence. Funding is urgently needed across every part of the system. 

Join the campaign to show the Albanese Government we want women’s safety to be at the core of their budgets; and we want these services fully funded.

To Federal, State and Territory Governments, 

We call on you to ensure proper funding of specialist sexual, domestic and family violence services - to ensure everyone affected can access the support they need, and that perpetrators’ abusive behaviours are addressed.

"Because women’s rights are human rights. Because women are tired of being unsafe due to male violence and exhausted by the continued need to challenge it themselves with little to no funding or support. Because after 25yrs working in the welfare sector the most consistent driver of need is the underlying impacts of generations of male violence. Because I don’t know how much longer I can continue to work in a sector which is steeped in crisis, trauma, risk and violence where we are underpaid, often expected to work unpaid hours, where the need continues to grow but funding does not and where we have no guaranteed job security"

"This new budget gives perpetrators the green light and perpetuates social enabling of abuse and murder of women and children. Any funding for training police to take stalking and other lead up behaviours as indicators of FV and intent to kill?? Didn’t see any."
