Budget forgets family violence services

The lack of sufficient funding towards services that cater to issues of domestic violence could send victims back into the arms of their abusers.

In this year’s Federal budget, $100 million was allocated to the domestic violence sector, however, concerned have been raised about the primary approach to regulating this issues remain critically underfunded.

As a result of this inadequate funding could limit the services provided to victims of family violence and leave the victims to handle matters on their own.
