Here is the official domestic and family violence funding announcement from the Coalition:

An elected Dutton Coalition Government will commit an additional $90 million to further address family and domestic violence across Australia. 

This investment recognises the complexities of family and domestic violence, and that more action is needed to build on the continued implementation of the National Plan to End Violence against Women and Children 2022–2032 (National Plan). 

An elected Dutton Coalition Government will put renewed focus on prevention, early intervention and crisis response. We will: 

·       Implement a National Domestic Violence Register, allowing police across Australia and relevant agencies to access and share information about a person’s previous family violence convictions to better manage risk and avoid future offending. 

·       Take strong action against perpetrators of family and domestic violence through specialist early and behavioural intervention programs and tougher monitoring measures.  

·       Establish new domestic violence offences by making it a crime to use mobile phone and computer networks to cause an intimate partner or family member to fear for their personal safety, to track them using spyware or engage in coercive behaviours, and ensure tough bail laws apply to these new offences.  

·       Develop uniform national knife laws with the states and territories. 

·       Lift the threshold for fast-track property settlements in the family law courts, so that separating couples with an asset pool of up to $1.5 million can resolve matters that do not involve children quickly and fairly. 

·       Improve online safety for women and children.  

·       Expand the Safe Places Emergency Accommodation Program to assist more victim-survivors and their families escaping violence.  

·       Support women and children fleeing domestic violence with emergency payments through the Leaving Violence Program.  

·       Increase crisis helpline support so victim-survivors fleeing family and domestic violence have their calls answered and get the immediate assistance they require.  

·       Support community organisations to deliver domestic violence awareness training. 

·       Recycle mobile phones so victim survivors cannot be tracked, harassed or further abused.  

·       Improve child safety and protection and ensure the delivery of the National Plan to End Violence against Women and Children 2022-2032. 

·       Launch a Royal Commission into Sexual Abuse in Indigenous communities to address these horrific crimes and ensure children are safe and their childhood protected.   

·       Strengthen Commonwealth taxation, welfare and superannuation systems where practicable to eradicate financial abuse, coercive control and unfair outcomes following family and domestic violence.
