Continuing investment in prevention and response to domestic, family and sexual violence

The NT Government continues to invest in delivering generational change and safer communities for women and children by investing into services for domestic, family and sexual violence (DFSV).

This funding will go towards the implementation of Action Plan 2, which is part of the NT Government's 10-year Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence Reduction Framework.

The NT Government will work with the DFSV Cross Agency Working Group, the DFSV Aboriginal Advisory Board and the specialist sector to determine the priority areas to direct this resourcing.

The investment covers initiatives that: both prevent and respond to DFSV including reforms in health, justice, policing, support for people who are using violence to change their behaviour. In turn, reducing the impacts of violence on victim survivors, including children.

This announcement builds on the investment by the NT Government under Action Plan 1.

Addressing DFSV requires long term commitment and generational change. DFSV is preventable when we work together, and put the safety of women and children at the centre.
