Thanks, Senator Waters, for that contribution and for your support of the bill. In 2023-24, the government will direct $260 million annually to the Family Relationship Services Program. This includes a range of services for separating families and their children, including family relationship centres, family law counselling, family dispute resolution, children's contact services and the Family Relationship Advice Line. We've also provided further support for legal aid commissions. There's also support for two successful family law property programs in the 2023-24 budget, as well as other support that we've provided in increasing funding for family and domestic violence services. That will always remain a priority for the government, and I imagine any further announcements would be made in the budget context.
