I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) An additional $1 million over four years will be spent enhancing follow-up services for people leaving refuges to assist them to re-establish in the community. A further $1 million over four years will be spent on women’s refuge services. The Department for Community Development has been consulting with peak domestic violence bodies and service providers on the design and location of new services. Non-government agencies will receive the funding and provide the services. The department will have responsibility for management of these funds. (2) The minister is currently considering options for the expenditure of this funding and will make an announcement in due course.
