E&OE TRANSCRIPT DOORSTOP INTERVIEW, GOLD COAST - WEDNESDAY, 23 MARCH 2022

SUBJECTS: Domestic and family violence, 500 additional community sector workers, crisis accommodation for women and children fleeing violence 

"Domestic violence is at epidemic levels. We've heard this morning from Rosie and her team about the increase in demand on her service just in the last few months. They are picking up an additional 100 women per week, needing their service. It is an enormous load, and it speaks to the scale and extent of the tragedy. Labor understands that if we form a government, we will need to lead on this."

4800 MORE PEOPLE FROM CULTURALLY DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS TO HAVE FAMILY VIOLENCE SUPPORT UNDER LABOR’S PLAN
 

An Albanese Labor Government will provide dedicated funding to organisations that support Australians from culturally diverse backgrounds to employ specialist domestic and family violence workers. 

TRANSCRIPT DOORSTOP INTERVIEW, MELBOURNE THURSDAY, 17 MARCH 2022  

Additional family and domestic workers for community led LGBTIQ+ organisations to support people experiencing violence.

LABOR TO PROVIDE 1,200 MORE LGBTIQ+ PEOPLE WITH FAMILY VIOLENCE SUPPORT

An Albanese Labor Government will provide dedicated funding to LGBTIQ+ community organisations to employ specialist domestic violence workers, ensuring LGBTIQ+ people receive appropriate family and domestic violence support.

An Albanese Labor Government will support a stronger, more diverse and more independent community sector. 

Through floods, fires and a pandemic, the community sector has stepped up to provide support to struggling Australians. 

Despite this, the Morrison Government has repeatedly tried to devalue and silence community sector voices. At the same time, many community sector organisations have been working with less money, less funding certainty and increased stress. 
 
If elected, Labor will change this.
