Assistant Minister for the Prevention of Family Violence, Justine Elliot, will visit Melbourne today to see first-hand some of Australia's key initiatives that underpin the Albanese Government's efforts to end violence in one generation.
Over the course of the visit, Assistant Minister Elliot will attend the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine, No to Violence, Lifeline and the Monash Gender and Family Violence Prevention Centre.
"These organisations do incredible work to address and prevent domestic, family and sexual violence," Assistant Minister Elliot said.
"The specialist services, training, and education delivered by these organisations ensures our frontline workers can respond appropriately to both victim-survivors and men who use violence.
"The importance of this work funded under the National Plan is immeasurable, and that's why the Government has invested over $60 million into these programs to help support frontline and community sector workers," Assistant Minister Elliot said.
The broad range of initiatives supported under the National Plan to End Violence against Women and Children 2022-2032, illustrate the Government's commitment to addressing and preventing domestic, family, and sexual violence, and the importance of these services.
"We will continue to keep building the evidence base on what works to end violence and the research undertaken by the Monash Gender and Family Violence Prevention Centre, who informed development of the National Plan, is critical to this."
