500 Workers Initiative
The Australian Government has committed to creating 500 new jobs to support victim-survivors of family, domestic and sexual violence.
About the initiative
Funding of $169.4 million has been committed over 4 years for community organisations to employ more frontline workers to support victim-survivors of family, domestic and sexual violence (FDSV). This includes $4.4 million in departmental funds. All 500 new workers will continue to be funded into the future.
Funding is provided to state and territory governments through the National Partnership on FDSV Responses 2021–23 (FDSV National Partnership).
