Every day, thousands of women and children in NSW are subject to domestic, family or sexual violence, and yet in 2014, the Liberals and Nationals cut $20 million from specialist domestic violence shelters.

Labor s plan to right this wrong includes:


Providing an additional 200 specialist domestic violence housing places.
Providing additional funding for 29 specialist caseworkers in Women's Domestic Violence Court Advocacy Services;
Providing additional funding for 19 specialist caseworkers in Women's Health Centres;
Investing an additional $1.7 million a year in the NSW Rape Crisis Centre for sexual assault and trauma counselling;
Establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Women's Advisory Group; and
Delivering age-appropriate school-based strategies and develop Respectful Relationships Education;
Trialling specialist sexual assault and domestic violence courts,
Increasing victim compensation recognition payments and;
Legislating to extend the provision of 10 days paid domestic violence leave for private sector workers in NSW.
