The plan recognises that gender-based violence is a critical national issue affecting all demographic groups, with certain communities facing heightened risks where gender inequality intersects with other forms of disadvantage.

Since its release, the Albanese Government has invested over $3.4 billion to support the National Plan, including $925.2 million for the permanent Leaving Violence Program to provide financial support and services for victim-survivors leaving violent relationships. The Government has also established a $10 billion Housing Australia Future Fund with 4,000 homes designated for women and children impacted by family violence. Additionally, the Government has reformed workplace legislation to provide 10 days of paid family and domestic violence leave, ensuring women don't have to choose between safety and financial security.

Key achievements:

• Released the First Action Plan 2023-2027 and dedicated Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Action Plan 2023-2025

• Reformed the Family Law System to be simpler, safer and more accessible for separating families

• Expanded family violence provisions for migrant and refugee women

• Established the Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence Commission to improve coordination of policies and services
