The ACT Government has announced a $44.2 million investment to strengthen frontline services and provide long-term funding for people impacted by domestic, family and sexual violence.

Part of the investment includes $18.5 million dollars to provide stable ongoing funding for response services including the Domestic Violence Crisis Service, Canberra Rape Crisis Centre and YWCA Canberra.$6.7 million for behaviour change programs, including funding for EveryMan and Room4Change. 

The funding also includes $6.7 million for behaviour change programs, including EveryMan and Room4Change. 

The cost of these initiatives will be partly offset by an increase to the Safer Families Levy from 2027-28 of $5 a year for three years.
