The Morrison government is committed not just to responding to domestic violence but also to actively pursuing early intervention and prevention and ensuring that the $340 million commitment by the government effectively targets the scourge that is family and domestic violence. This investment includes $78 million for the 'safe places' package. The Safe Places Emergency Accommodation grants will build up to 450 safe places to benefit up to 6,500 women and children escaping domestic and family violence each year to help them find a safer place to sleep. The Keeping Women Safe in their Homes package includes funding for security upgrades so that women can remain in their own homes also.
