I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. (1)–(3) The department is unable to identify the expenditure on services provided for children who have experienced domestic violence, other than the direct NGO services provided. All the expenditure by districts is grouped together, and the only way of being able to estimate this expenditure would be to ask each district to estimate the amount of time spent on providing these services. In addition to the NGO services, the department’s district offices provide services and support to children experiencing domestic violence, such as psychology services, case management and support, co-located police DV support workers, responsible parenting programs, financial assistance and emergency accommodation and/or residential care. The Department for Child Protection provides funding to the community services sector for a range of domestic violence accommodation and support services for women and children. In 2010–11 this included $3.4 million per annum for 22 support and counselling services; $18.014 million for 37 women’s domestic violence accommodation refuges; $1.465 million per annum for 17 family and domestic violence case management and coordination services to provide support for agencies to monitor and manage domestic violence cases with a focus on high-risk cases through integrated case management and coordination; and $2 million per annum for six Safe at Home services and five domestic violence outreach services to provide support to women and children who wish to remain in their own home following domestic violence, when it is safe to do so. A response to perpetrators identified through Safe at Home and domestic violence outreach programs is provided to maximise the safety for women and children. It also includes $100 000 per annum for the Keeping Kids Safe project to provide information, training and resources to child support workers in domestic violence refuges to improve support provided to children, and $105 000 per annum for new domestic violence child support workers in the Wheatbelt and Great Southern.
