This Question Time brief prepared for the Minister for Social Services outlines the government's response to violence against women and children. The document confirms the National Plan to End Violence against Women and Children 2022-2032 as the government's policy framework and highlights $4 billion invested in women's safety since the plan's 2022 launch. The brief emphasizes that addressing perpetrator behaviour is central to prevention strategy alongside victim-survivor support. In responding to claims that frontline services are under-resourced, the brief notes that $3.1 billion (78.4% of total funding) supports frontline services through a renewed five-year National Partnership Agreement delivering over $700 million in matched Commonwealth and state/territory investments. The brief identifies state and territory governments as holding primary responsibility for funding and delivering frontline family, domestic and sexual violence services.
