The Andrews Labor Government is supporting women in communities hit hardest by the worst bushfires in Australia’s living memory – with a $700,000 boost.
Twelve months on from the disaster, Minister for Women and the Prevention of Family Violence Gabrielle Williams today announced further funding to empower women on the path to economic recovery and boost critical support for the prevention of violence against women in bushfire-affected local government areas.
Building on more than $1.2 million already invested to protect women from violence in bushfire affected areas, today’s additional funding recognises that women living in these areas have carried a huge burden, supporting not only their communities to rebuild but also their families to heal.
