The federal government has announced a $10 million funding boost to support temporary visa holders trying to flee domestic and family violence.
Many temporary visa holders also face increased barriers to leaving abusive situations due to social isolation, limited English language skills, and fears they could be kicked out of Australia without sponsorship.
“We want to ensure that no matter what a woman’s visa status may be, she is able to access help and support when needed, to stay safe from violence and abuse,” Minister for Women’s Safety Anne Ruston said in a statement on Thursday.
