The NT Government has committed funding to enable survivors of domestic, family and sexual violence (DFSV) access to essential frontline services.
The funding includes contributions from the Australian Government through the National Partnership Agreement.
It will ensure 24 frontline DFSV service providers across the Territory have the resources to run vital programs and allow frontline services to:
- respond rapidly to the critical needs of survivors of domestic violence
- delivering emergency shelter
- legal aid and
- other essential support.
The services that will receive funding include:
- YWCA Domestic and Family Violence Centre in Darwin and Palmerston
- CatholicCare NT to operate Women’s Safe Houses in Milikapiti and Nauiyu
- Darwin Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Women’s Shelter Indigenous Corporation
- Top End Women’s Legal Service to provide women with essential advice and support.
