Domestic and family violence is a scourge, and its impact is horrific. This government swiftly committed $150 million to the domestic-violence-specific COVID-19 support package, now fully distributed to states and territories. This funding is on top of the $340 million the Commonwealth had already invested in the fourth-action-plan initiatives and the new ongoing 1800RESPECT funding in the 2020-21 budget. On the international day for the elimination of violence, the government also announced the three new providers of specialised family violence services in the Northern Territory.
