Supports for gender based violence legal services welcomed

Legal Services welcomes today's National Cabinet announcement of a $4.7 billion package to support frontline specialist services and legal services responding to gender based violence.

We will continue to work closely with Commonwealth and State governments to ensure the legal assistance sector is equipped to meet the legal needs of people exposed to family, domestic and sexual violence.

While the details of a new National Partnership Agreement on Family, Domestic and Sexual Violence Responses are negotiated ahead of a 1 July 2025 commencement, Legal Services will continue to provide frontline legal assistance services through our Women's Domestic Violence Court Assistance Service and Domestic Violence Unit.
