]]>Helen, Katie and all their staff do amazing work in supporting some of the most vulnerable people in our community. Their passion and genuine care for their clients shines through in everything they do.
As the local member I’m proud to be able to support such an important service.
In the 2016-17 Budget, the Turnbull Government announced $100 million funding for the ‘Third Action Plan’ – initiatives to combat domestic violence.
This funding was in addition to the $100 million Women’s Safety Package which was announced as the first act of the Turnbull Government.
We are determined to combat the scourge of domestic violence in our society.

]]>I am staggered at the prevalence of domestic violence in our country. 63 women have been killed this year as a result of domestic violence and 1/6 of Australian women have experienced violence at the hands of their partner.
As a father, husband and son, I am very passionate about respecting women and am incredibly proud that our Government has pledged $100 million to tackle family and domestic violence as a key priority. $59 million towards innovative technologies to keep women safe, $36 million to train more frontline staff to recognise and respond appropriately to women experiencing violence and $5 million to provide better educational resources.
If you or someone you know is impacted by sexual assault or family violence, call 1800 737 732 or visit http://www.1800respect.org.au/ In an emergency, call 000.
Let’s work together and change attitudes towards violence and abuse. It’s not acceptable and it’s not Australian #stoptheviolence
