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.

"Australia needs laws to encompass this travesty which occurs incessantly. Laws that will make it known this violence will not be tolerated and that there will be punishment for the perpetrators NOT what police say couldn’t do anything. Ie NO Laws of protection for Women and Children. Enough is enough."

"it is important to me because men’s use of gender-based violence is a crisis across the country. Yet consecutive governments have chosen not to properly resource life-saving family, sexual and domestic violence services. Every day violence services aren’t fully funded is another day women are left in danger. Enough is enough."

"This issue is important to me because one of my female work colleagues was murdered because of domestic violence. Rachel’s children are left without their Mum. Rachel’s family, friends and work colleagues are devastated that this happened to a beautiful kind and loving soul."

"The safety of women & children in a violent relationship should be one of the highest priorities of the government. These women should know that there is a safe to go to get away from a violent partner where they & their children are not in danger of being killed"

"So many women are vulnerable. It is the government’s role to care for its citizens, not to give tax breaks to the wealthiest who have absolutely no need of it. Trickle down is a myth. The rich have got richer and the working person, pooer."
