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.

"Out of control & the Government do nothing support is so necessary & funding is detrimental & keep the perpetrators locked up would be a significant start."

"As someone who experienced dv of my mother and know many women who have experienced dv, it is crucial to have safe places that people can flee to but also services to help protect and assist those abused to not only go on with their lives but also help them and often their children, to thrive! It is unacceptable in Australia hat a woman is killed every four days. It is unacceptable in Australia for our government to say that they take violence against women seriously while they cut funding to dv services, to womens shelters and to not tackle the cost of housing, which makes it even more difficult for those fleeing abuse to establish an independent life!"
