Over 600 individuals and 400 organisations contributed to the development of the National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women and their Children and identified five national priorities. The fourth action plan is a record $340 million investment by the Morrison government to deliver on those priorities. In 2018, in a historic first, the coalition legislated to guarantee five days unpaid family and domestic violence leave as the new minimum safety net entitlement for all national system employees. This entitlement reflects the decision of the independent Fair Work Commission in relation to modern awards. Employers remain free to provide entitlements above this safety net consistent with their specific circumstances.
